Does anyone have a chart for auto transmission types used in various model
numbers and years. I am most interested in those used in the 123, 124, and
126 types. Right now I am specifically looking for info about the trans in
a 86 300D and an 88 300TE
I know that a 123 can be converted to manual trans with bolt-in
components. Is this also possible with a 124? Anybody got a 124 5 speed
with all linkages, pedals, etc that would be necessary for a conversion?
The most difficult problems are usually the flywheel and driveshaft (124
gas and normally aspirated diesel cars were manufactured with 5 speed
manual transmissions - but were NEVER brought to the US). New ones ARE
available but are VERY expensive. Used ones are in short supply even in
Europe and Asia - in the US they just don't exist. The manual
transmissions do NOT mate well with Mercedes turbo engines.
There is a listing of all the transmissions used in 124 and post '85 126
cars in the '88 "Tech. Data Manual." I can scan and post it if you still
need it. The best list of 123 and 126 (pre '86) transmissions will be
found in the '85 TDM.
