These guys are making a kit so that you can bolt an OM617 to a GM manual transmission...or an automatic if you so choose.

(10-29-2009, 12:44 PM)winmutt I had seen this a while ago but I think the $ numbers were not low enough to warrant it. IE more or less same price as 5 spd.
German/MB 5-speed, though. They're not bad...just not too common here in the US.
The GM trannies are easily found, sturdy, proven and easy-to-get-parts-for...
How about a T56 in your Merc? I'd prefer that over a Mercedes 5-speed any day of the week...the extra $1k to convert isn't so bad considering the benefits.

(10-29-2009, 03:06 PM)tantank79 These guys have been "working on it" for about 4 yrs now. I have yet to see them actually release any product to the public.
Their latest status update is one that would suggest that they are ready to make their initial production run of 20-25 kits. They weren't clear about a release date...

My big problem with these kits is that they can rarely be adapted to an actual mercedes because of the linkage problem. All of them allow you to take a 617 engine and put it in something else, but none allow you to mount the transmission in your otherwise stock mercedes car. If you were to do so, you would have the shifter coming up through the center of the dash.
Whats a common US 5-speed that has side linkage with shift arms?
how does the shift linkage mechanism work on the GM trannys?

The big problem is that its kind of outdated design, I haven't seen any newer transmissions that still have these types of arms.
It seems like a US domestic wont work in any of the mercedes chassis with the shifter being 7-10 inches behind the actual tranny. It has to be a side shift arm with linkages. I wonder if there are any prevalent Japanese transmissions that incorporate this feature?

I've always thought that the length the the American transmission would of made up for the extra 7-10 inches and that they are usually in the very rear of the transmission. I'm no expert but I have seen a 2jz-gte swap (w201) that used the supra transmission that has the shifter coming strait out of the top of the transmission and it was a little further back these German transmissions are pretty short in comparison I'm assuming because of the external linkage. The only way to really know is with a side by side comparison.

I think having a custom converter (a good idea anyway...higher stall speed, esp when the engine is making more than stock power) would probably be the better choice, just a little more down time if/when it ever fails.
Anyway, I'll post more details when I get them.
W123 Mods: 4 speed ** manual climate control ** '85 Kalitucky intake ** manual windows & full tint ** Euro headlights retrofit w/bixenon projectors ** 4 brake light mod ** Vogtland 50mm drop front & Lesjofors S600 drop rear springs ** 16" rims ** late w126 brake spindles, rotors & calipers ** full suspension rehab ** Bilstein HDs ** AL129X alternator & 1/0 starter and charging cables ** 300GD clutch/flywheel ** AFCO 80103N radiator & Earl's 41610 oil cooler ** custom block-off plate, remote oil filter & t-stat ** MW IP w/ tomnik's 6.5mm 'Holly' elements **
S124 Mods: 400E Rear subframe ** SL600 Brakes ** Late 300E 210mm diff ** SLK230 6 speed ** 17" CLK rims ** Vented RF Fender ** Facelift Hood, Headlights, and Lower Cladding **

11-06-2009, 12:43 AM #16I've been emailing the 4x4labs people for the past few days and they say they have a couple kits in stock. The guy told be they'd be willing to split up the adapter plate and the custom flywheel setup, but I am awaiting a response for the prices for the individual pieces. Together the kit is $950 + $35 for shipping. They have a design in the works to bolt a custom hub to convert the mercedes crank bolt pattern to utilize a GM flexplate/torque converter, so an automatic will eventually be able to work there as well... Opening up a whole slew of OD automatic options.

What did you find out?
I'm thinking of this kit + 4L80-E in my W210.
Cheers,

P.S. I updated the URL in my original post...
Just found another option:
http://www.transmissionadapters.com/Merc...diesel.htm
$725 and includes:
1 inch thick aluminum adapter plate
Bolt set
Mini-high torque starter
Flexplate
Crank adapter
All machined parts are American made.
This blows 4x4labs.com's offer out of the water for the guys that want to convert to an automatic.

Drivers vs pass side starter on the bell, easier to use the OEM starter location than cut the housing and patch it.
Been there, done that, own stock in the company.
