MB 6speed Shift Linkage
MB 6speed Shift Linkage
Hey guys, I'm working on shortening the linkage for my 716.628, to fit into a w124 chassis. Does anyone have any other alternatives to the stock linkage setup? It uses a cable for the left-right movement of the shift lever, which is a pain in the ass to cut and weld and not mess up the smoothness.
There's an updated design that eliminates the cable, wondering if anyone has experience using that assembly over this one, and whether or not it's interchangeable with the older transmissions.
Hi, w203 linkage is more simple without cable. You can find on youtube czs motorsport , there is video about how to fit 6 speed trans and shifter
That 716.628 can be from gas engines , the NSG 270? Can be faster and best solution find a NSG 370 from CDI engines , W203 has them with no cable, if a cheap one appears at yunkyards.
Googling see the NSG 510, but for newer engines, different bolt pattern than OM60x-M103-M104 engines.
6th gear 0,828 usually, others new bolt pattern 0,809 and others superlong gear , 4th is 1:1, 5th is 0,78 and 6th is 0,67 , 69,3Km/h@1000rpm in 6 gear.
