Oh, I don't mean to nit-pick but 2nd gear just doesn't seem to line up.

All the rest of the ratios fit great, but 2nd gear seems a lot shorter than it is depicted in the charts.

Take a look at an '86 560SEL vs an '89 560SEL, and you'll notice 2nd gear ends differently.

The rest of the ratios fit great.






I swear 2nd gear has to be 2.59 in the older ones. It would make sense.

Also, I just noticed that 3rd gear HAS to be a 1.51 or so. Look at the gearing of the 560's. Assuming tire size is 25.49 inches in diameter, and using a handy differential conversion calculator at prestage.com, I can figure this stuff out in a flash with less paper to throw out.

Don't mean to criticize their documentation, but it can't be entirely universal.
