it will go round and round and finally end on a BMW type getrag 265, the shifter is similar to the MB, the drive output is identical, all you gotta do is modify the bell and throwout, or cast a new bell. the 265's are on the bay all the time for $300, and I see them in the yards about 6-10 units a year. It was used in AMG's of the same vintage as our cars. if there was enough interest a cast bell could be viable around $400-600 but it would take a larger commitment of buyers to make it worth while. it would be a much better solution than an adapter to another makers trans and probable still way better than the adapte to the later MB 5spd. pony up 25 guys who will front the cash and we can get the ball rolling
