Someone swapped a 722.6 into a 300CE. Any possibilities on bolting one to a 617? He mentions that it should fit a 603 or 606... Will it stand up to a turned up engine?
Looks like its controlled by a bunch of solenoids, so even without the $1000 controller, it might be possible to turn it into a "manual automatic".

1981 Mercedes-Benz 300SD | 156K Miles | 2nd Owner | EGR Disabled [Removal Pending] | ALDA Removed | Straight Pipes | GT2256V??? | Laser Interceptor | Engine swap over summer, hopefully with GT2256V attached...
1981 Mercedes-Benz 300SD | Odo Stopped at 160K (at least 50K more) | EGR Disabled | ALDA All The Way Out | Straight pipes | FM-870 Remote Start Alarm System | B100 Biodiesel | AC Fixed x2 | Trunk crushed in
| Retired to garage.Excessive speeding? It ain't excessive till I redline!

Quote:Will it stand up to a turned up engine?Its used behind the 1,000Nm SL65 V12. From 1997 until the 7-speed 722.9 was introduced, all MB's automatic cars had a 722.6.

The most difficult part would be shift transitions. With a simple manual shifter the shifts would slam between gears like a 300D with a broken vacuum hose. Don't forget about controlling the lockup torque converter as well.
