hi , I have just bought a 5 speed transmission(717 402) to bolt up to my merc m110.I was wondering if it was possible to adapt the 4 speed floor shifter to 5 speed.anyone done this before?

the mid-70s shifter can be adapted. There is a thread for it around here someplace.

hi, I have managed to find a shifter in germany from a w126 which should be correct for this transmission. I have also downloaded the transmission file which you sent me, there is quite a bit of info on the shifter and rebuilding it.I will be using this 5 speed behind a m110 which has some very serious mods,including electronic fuel injection from electromotive, the motor is soon finished .
