w126 manual trans
does anyone know if MB ever made a 126 with a manual? If overseas, which countries are most likely? would like to build (keep comments to yourself)
a 500 sdc with a 4 or 5 speed. Would the pedals from a 123 fit a 126? |

None were ever mass produced. 126 diesels were US only. AFAIK swapping is the same on the 126 as the 123. Custom cross member, shift linkage and driveshafts are needed. DS can be found on some 116's or so the rumor has it.

^^^^He is wrong.
They made them for the 280SE.
Here are pictures of one, and in particular, pictures of what the pedals look like. (I have personally seen this particular vehicle, and know for a fact it exists. So far as I know, it is still there, for sale.) http://www.richmondmercedes.com/280SE/280se.html

I've seen two w126's in the junkyards here with manuals from the factory.

I said mass produced. You could order a rubber ducky on the hood instead of a mercedes emblem and they would have installed it. I hardly call AMG "Mass produced". Furthermore he is speaking of a diesel engine implant into a 500sec. There were NO DIESEL 126's with manual transmissions.

Yes, I've heard of, and seen pics of factory equipt stick shift 126's. None, however, with V8 in them, that I know of. Which is very unfortunate, to say the least. If anyone's ever spotted a V8, 126 with standard in it. let me know please.

The Mercedes Benz factory never equipped any V8 engine W126 cars with a manual shifter, unfortunately.

I'm planning on installing a stick in my SD. I've gotten all the parts. I was planning on installing it this winter. but with the death of Garrett's Euro, the garage is going to be used rebuilding his car. maybe this spring.

I have read here of the 123 pedal cluster working with a minor modification. On my list of to dos is a clean 300sd with a four speed conversion.

Yes somebody here has done the conversion if you google around. I forget specifically who. As far v8+manual, do you think this was due to excessive power issues?

In the 280S/SE/SEL you could get a 4spd stick. They were the cheap hotel cars. Nobody wanted a stick S class so, it was a pretty rear option.
One was for sale on Long Island a few years ago, they are pretty rare but pop up every now and then. The diesel W126's were North American market only cars, their is no such thing as a "euro" 300SD, or SDL. The ones you do see in Europe and Japan are gray market.

W126 W140 Stick shift
They mass produced the 260SE, the 280SE and the 300SE.
Furthermore, you could buy a mass produced W140 280SE/300SE (S280/S300) with am manual transmission. I do not know if they came in the long wheelbase.
