Not sure how a lower first gear would help with off the line smoothness?

why? the lower first gear should make up for the tall rear diff in first...

I really don't see any issue with the gearing. I've driven the 2.64 diff x 3.86 first gear all over San Francisco with plenty of hill starts. The only thing holding back off the line acceleration is the ALDA. I can let out the clutch slowly without accelerating and the car simply moves forward without stalling. It'll even climb some hills in first gear at idle. This engine has so much more low RPM torque than the 2.6L M103 the gearbox came out of.

Try taking off in second. Not really smoothness just not easy to launch quickly if needed.

603 is completely different than 602. The power difference is dramatic, especially in low-end torque before boost builds, and it's worse at higher elevations. The extra low 1st gear in the 6-speed might make it tolerable, but I'd still swap the diff.
I assume you'll be modifying the pump, if you're installing a garret t25/t28 hybrid. The turbo change alone won't increase power, and there's only about 10-20% power gain possible with stock 5.5mm elements. Dieselmeken in Germany, or Myna Diesel, can fix that... ![]() |

Thank you very much for doing the research and putting the thread together! I suppose that this would alo apply to the OM606 (my favorite Mercedes diesel)? I'd like a 1995 W124 wagon with an OM606 and 6-peed manual... a guy can dream, can't he?

If that transmission is the the G56, it is also used for 3500 Dodge Ram Diesels. The G56 is plenty strong -- here's more on it.

Great Job OP. Love to see custom work!
FWIW - I have used the gear calculators and they help with trans/diff/wheel combinations. Although we spend more time on it for offroad, it applies onroad too. Gear Ratio Calculator |

300d automatic with 2.64 diff
300d 5spd swap and 2.64 diff 300d 6spd swap with 2.64 diff Just plug in any number you want for the "final drive ratio" and hit submit. cheers

Would a complete set of doner parts from either a C-class or SLK work?
Was there an incompatibility that led to the decision to use half parts from the SLK and half from the C-class or was it just that was what you were able to find? do you think this 6-speed will fit into a w201? It looks a little bigger in your pictures. |
