I've been reading some of your posts on 190E 16V related threads ... great stuff. On a different note though, can you please, pretty please , send me (or post) the name of the manufacturer who makes the custom bellhousing for you all the same?

I would love to have it for my 95 E300D. I would be interested in seeing how it works first though. But you would have to install it for me and do all the modifications. I don't know anyone and my mechanical knowledge is probably equivalent to your knowledge of how to perform heart surgery

I'd love to have a manual trans in mine, the auto is the only part of any MBZ that I've owned that scares me (I've had to rebuild one of them already.. $$$$$$ ).

Exactly

I mean if any of the mb's should be standard (hell ill take a 5sped) the sl series should be. Anyone have any ideas? Are there are any 6 cylinder sl's which came with a standard transmission? And if so will they mate with the sl engine?? What we would need to install a clutch - one pedal installation. The drive train I hope would link up. I wouldnt know tho but If someone does I may be right behind. I have the 622.5 (722?) six speed auto transmission and from what ive read its problematic. I think it was the mb answer to the porsche tiptronic. I have some moron rebuilding it now. So I may need a new tranny, again, in like five months So maybe a conversion to a simple and light six speed is just the answer!! |

Hmmm

It seems like you could find room to mount it anywhere being hydraulic you could run those lines about anywhere. Those masters arent very big either. What troubles me (besides the engine/gearbox coupling) is the linkage. Maybe b/c Im ignorant as hell in this area. I mean are transmissions and gearbox'es gonna be the same length? Somebody do it already. Unfortunately an e class conversion wont likely help the sl class etc given the different engines etc. Its probably even problematic between the 320 and 500. |

From about 1990-1992 the 300SL/SL320's were available with a 5-speed.
Unfortunately, it's only for the M104 6-cylinder, so it won't mate-up the the M119 V8. :-) neil |

It's been done
I have a friend who had such a car "engineered" by RennTech. 1992 500E that is now a 6 liter with the six-speed sourced from a BMW 850Ci. I believe that is a Getrag unit.

I'd be interested when or IF one is made. I would have to see the first one and how it performed first.
