Hey there!
I'm a proud owner of a 1994 W124 E220 (with the M111 engine). I want to convert it to a manual (the auto box is leaky) and, although I've spent hours searching through the threads, I couldn't find any definitive answer to my queries. Hope you guys won't mind!

First of all, I am unsure specifically which 5speed manual gearbox I should get, and what are my choices.
Secondly, being a novice at these conversions, I am unsure what parts to gather. Getting a donor car is next to impossible so I need to get parts imported from Europe (probably Germany?).
Also, what problems will I encounter? Do I have to change the diff as well? If I'm not mistaken I have the 3.07 final drive. I stand to be corrected though.

That's it for now. I'll post updates of the conversion when I get it started!

Cheers!
Jeff
