So my Indy tells me (this is a heck of a Christmas present) that theres a
rubber balancing deal on the driveshaft which is bad on my car. He says that he
can't buy the part separately and an entire driveshaft is over $1k.
So the question is can I use a driveshaft off a 190E for my '85 190D 2.2l?
Take it from me Kaleb, 201 5 speeds have a unique balancing disc right
behind the front flex disc. It balances the driveshaft. It is NOT sold
separately. If the disc fails, Mercedes requires that you buy a NEW
front half of the driveshaft and balance disc or a complete new
driveshaft with disc. You CAN buy just the disc for manual or automatic
124 driveshaft, or for a 201 automatic driveshaft, but NOT for a 201 5
speed (not sure about a manual 4 speed)!
THEY ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.
