G'day Folks,
Occasionally - well quite frequently - there's a thread where someone is asking if a transmission out of one model will fit in another.
Sometimes there's a thread where someone wants to change from automatic to manual
Sometimes someone is looking for a different differential...
I've asked these questions myself!
Here's the data I've collected so far. I hope it helps.
Please note:-
I have obtained this data from a copy of the FSM in original language(!), and the Russian EPC data at
EverythingBenz - Mercedes-Benz Forum and Web Search Using Google, and a tiny bit of my knowledge.
So the data here is what was meant to be fitted to each model. It isn't necessarily saying that an alternative won't fit.
There could be mistakes in the data - use it at your own risk.
I recommend that if you are using the data to buy a replacement part you should put the two parts side by side before parting with your hard earned cash.
To the best of my knowledge the 5 speed manual gear boxes are of a different length than the 4 speed manual gear boxes and they are also of a different length than the automatic transmissions. This means you need different propshaft sections - and perhaps the differential won't be of a good gearing too...
Also bear in mind this is a
work in progress
If you have any data that you wish to add to it please say and I'll post up a copy of the spreadsheet.
