On the 16v manual, it is very different in several ways from the 8v tranny. ratio, "strength", internals, shift pattern, etc. Be sure you want the dog leg pattern on the 16v manual, it is a little diff and if anyone else ever drives your car, they like to confuse reverse and 1st gear, making lots of grinding and noise and eatting of clutches.

Chuni,
Is the 717.432 tranny a manual? From what? My 16v is an auto and yes , I wanted it like that and I like it. I have never had a clutch problem and I dont race it. What I am looking at doing is trying to find a tranny from a 92 or 93 190E, it has 1st gear start. Any idea on this? Not sure if the tranny from a 92 or 93 w201 will bolt straight up to my 16v 2.3.
