Hi -- Can the 5 sp manual transmission from '93 190E 2.6 be used with a diesel engine?

Yes, my 85 190 has this exact swap. 5th is really tall, overall im very pleased with the swap.

It WILL work with any 60X engine (602,603,606etc), but NOT with any 61X (616,617 etc). At least not without a bell housing cut and paste (this is difficult, but has been done before).

That's exactly the transmission I bolted onto my om603.
Another OM603 5 speed swap

Thanks, I need to sell a 190e 2.6 with this trans. for my mom. The car ran well before being stored by my dad who passed away 2 years ago. 135k miles. No rust.

Baltimore/DC area.

What is fair price for car with this type of trans.?

A fair price is whatever a buyer in your area is willing to pay. I'd start with an asking price around $2500 or $3k and see what happens. If the car cannot be driven, you'll be lucky to get $1k.
