The transmission in my 560SEL is going out, and I have a 722.6 I pulled intending to swap into my old SD someday. Can someone please confirm that these will bolt to each other? The bolt patterns LOOK like they will match up, but I cannot confirm without pulling the transmission out of a car I need to drive. It looks like there may be clearance issues for the starter? I've seen that it's been done before and have contacted user whipplem104 about purchasing a controller, but pictures are hard to come by. I had pulled the transmission with the intent of mating it to a OM617 requiring a bell cut/weld, so I didn't make note of what vehicle it came out of.

My 722.6:


Googled image of M117 bolt pattern - is this the same as the one on my 1991 560?
I read somewhere there were changes between aluminum/iron blocks.


Thanks!
