Pulling a tranny on a 190
Gents,
A friend put me onto a 190 gasser in a wrecking yard with a 5 speed tranny on it. I started to pull the tranny, but eventually just pulled the motor, as it seemed to be easier in the long run. Is it possible to pull a tranny on a 190 gasser or diesel with out the engine, or is pulling the engine the best way? I pulled the tranny since they don't seem to come up here very often, and I wanted one on hand if a 190D came my way. I pulled the tranny, flywheel, tranny support cross piece, drive line, clutch and brake petal assembly, hydraulic line to clutch, fluid reservoir, and shifter. Should I have pulled the instrument cluster with the speedometer? The starter looked pretty clean. Does the starter fit a diesel? Should I have pulled anything else? I discovered I had forgotten my chains, as I had not intended to pull the engine. I ended up using the method Charlie (Charmalu) mentioned using seat belts. Worked like a charm! Thanks for mentioning it! Regards, Walter

Get the cluster if you are going to change the diff, for easier driving... And the diff of course.

Could you elaborate on the "easier driving"? I am familiar with the 123 and 116 body styles, but have no idea what gear ratios are in the 190D's. Anything I should know about pulling the differential? I've not pulled one of these. Thanks! W.

if your 190D is an automatic, it's got 2.65 or thereabouts ratio in the diff...
putting a clutch in front of that will make stoplights sluggish, and hills a smoking slide back I'd think. the gasser likely has a taller ratio, so pulling it, and putting it and the matching speedo in could help the day to day driveability... I am not sure what ratio you have in your car, nor what ratio the donor vehicle has, I'm just mentioning it since you mentioned the cluster.
