BTDT? Oh, ah been there done that. Is the 5spd+617 DS the same as the
auto+617 DS?
actually, it is not. different p/ns in the EPC. that auto box is longer
than the 5 speed. iirc, last time i looked into the bits, the correct 5
speed front half shaft is NLA.
It's a shame that the 4spd+617 is 2cm longer than the auto+616 DS. Just
a wee bit short.
a +/- inch short will get you everytime.
Have you seen the carnage that is going on in Falmouth?

very sad, wish I had the space and time. this first hit the wires over
a year ago.
I am hoping they have 5spds. I have one but it is need of many parts,
hoping I can mix and match. Also hoping the bmw getrag 5spd internals
are about the same...
heard the BMW bits do share a few with the Benz, but have not verified.

More particularly, is the front half of the driveshaft the same
