1993 E190 Gearbox Inquiry
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi Folks

I came across your site and I am hoping someone can help.
I own a 1993 E190 1800cc Mercedes Benz
Now I absolutley love this car, but have two irretations about it
Now like most older mercs I know, she does over heat if driving through a lot of trafffic, stop go traffic light stuff.
But my biggest pain is the cars gearbox!
As mentioned it has a 1800 motor with fuel injection, but has a terrible 4 speed manual gearbox with horrible ratios, giving terrible "performance" (I know she is not an AMG :) ) and even more terrible fuel consumption.
What I would like to know is, is there another 5 or even 6 speed gearbox that I could have fitted to this vehicle? prefferably not automatic.

here is a pic of her....

All of the USA versions were either 5 speed manual OR 4 speed automatics & had at least a 2.3 liter engine. I would think that a 5 speed would really help.

If you could find a donor car in a JUNK yard with a 5 speed first that would be good.

Thanks MB Doc

I have tried looking around for a transmission from a "donor" vehicle, but these cars are very scarse in my country.
The few we did get were in a range of size, from 1800 to 3.2L
and most i've seen have that terrible 4 gear setup :mad:

Thanks anyway.....
