Try asking a dealer or the MB classic centre you guys have over there (or what ever it is called) for information regarding the older versions of the Sprinter - they must know what sort of transmissions were fitted to OM616s and OM617s - I know for sure that these engines were used in these lighter weight commercials. The pay load on some of them were probably more than 2 (metric) tons - so what ever they used is bound to be good for you.
