Adapter Plate manual transmission to M119

Peter,
Not by me anyway, still trying to get the new car ready. Prior posts still retain good information of using an old AT case for a bellhousing. I say this because it can be cut and placed on a milling machine easier and more accurately than trying to convert a BMW or other case that has the bellhousing as part of the tranny....like a Getrag. Shifting can be hard and pilot bearings take a beating if the input shaft is incorrectly aligned to the crankshaft and this method rectifies that. Plus using a separate bellhousing makes working on it that much easier, trust me! For the doubtful posters on here....there are pictures from ke6dcj (Neil) on his posts that have many pictures of my 190/5.8. There have been more updates done such as 4 piston, 12" rear brakes which retain the OE E brake, brake cooling ducts in the headlight openings, rear spoiler, etc. Tobias MB 190/450hp |

Not sure where this trans conversion went, but I have a junky M119 auto transmission I will happily donate to the cause.
Anyone know a good machine shop that can make an adapter?

David et al -
I have an extra tranny too ... and my friendly neighbor has a M119 block to use as well. As soon as work levels off and finances creep back up, the project will continue.

wow, been a long time since I came by here.
I gave up on this project about 5 years ago. First my friend (contact) at the manufacturing facility passed away. Then I started my own business and have been busy with that ever since. Also, I don't believe there is enough of a market to justify the expense of making the bellhousing and related parts. This is the same dillemma the plagues the 190e 16v guys. There are still a few "enthusiast" owners out there, but not enough to justify the production costs of fabricating new custom parts. That being said. My "cure" for wanting to have a manual trans in my 500e was to just buy a 190 16v and drive it when the mood to do "spirited" driving hits me. I believe I actually have less invested in the 16v 190 than I would have spent doing a manual conversion on the 500e,,,,Aaaaand I got to add yet another car to my stable,,,, so it was a "win-win" situation. |
