716.630 gear linkage mods
716.630 gear linkage mods
The big selector rod needs to be shortened by 10cm which is no problem.
I'm a bit stuck with the cable at the side, it only ever seems to move when Reverse on the gear selector is selected.
I have bought 4 linkages and the bit between the cable and box is missing on all of them
Any help, is the cable required?
I have a 716.630 mated to an om605 that I've fitted to the car.

On the end of the cable is an adjuster, although I doubt that with 100mm shortening you will be able to achieve this without shortening the cable itself.
the bracket on the side which receives the cable, runs through 2 pivot linkages and rotates through 90 degrees, to which a connecting rod joins the selector rod to the cable.
The purpose is to allow engagement of reverse and correct spacing of the H pattern, with the appropriate centre position.
IF the cable is not correctly set, the shift lever will make it all but impossible to select all gears. usually 5 & 6 go missing, because the cable prevents the full rotation of the selector arm.
Yes, the cable is required.

I also got a small cable made up but the original with metal elbow cut off did a better job.
or look into the w204 shifter setup.
I may change to this when the gearbox is out.
Its a single bar that rotates for left and right instead of the cable section.
i cut the metal elbow off the cable to help with it.

if you fit a 716 Gearbox in an w201, you just take the Cable from an w208 CLK 230 with 6-Speed Gearbox.
Cost is about 30 € new at your local MB-Dealer.
Its a straigt bolt-on.

I also thought about it and I wanted to do it...but
How can you solve the fitting problem in the gearbox,the fit is different for the 2 shifter in gearbox..?
