Many thanks to all of you who have responded to this marketing
question Each and every
question and response helps me in the project.
Why do this? Simply because we can, and if there is enough of a PAYING market
for overdrive manual trans conversions for MBs, then we will take a shot at it
That could be explained by gearing.
The correct rear end is critical.

You just need to find a broken MGB (shouldn't be too hard). ;)
This would fit right in with that cool old Becker in your 300D's dash:

Good point. And a GM transmission is undoubtedly so much cheaper to
rebuild than a Benz
Brilliant idea. I called and they as much as confessed that they screwed up
when rebuilding the speedo by not replacing a brass sleeve that can vibrate
when worn. A replacement is on the way.

Where is the flywheel/clutch coming from? Those seem to me to be the largest
stumbling block, followed by getting the drive shaft balanced after you
chenge the length.

would be a better target than the 617s - with the

Y'know, It won't be too long before the cognoscenti are back to solid

This is one thing I hate, wiper blades. I dont have a problem
buying them at the flaps, but it seems like they never fit quite
right on a mercedes. I bought new blades for the 140 only to
discover there was no way it would fit on the arm because the arm
of the car was way wider than the blade

Another solution to pitot tube icing would be a reserve pitot tube in a

be raised into the airstream if all others became inoperative.
