Globally I can easily see a batch of a 1000 of these at a reasonable price being sold with in one year, hell within a few months.

I seriously doubt that 1000 trannies a year would interest ZF or any other manufacture. I think that if this was to be 'comercially' avialable, it would be from a small enterprise that specializes in MBs. THey would have to find a source of a manual 5 spd trans that are rebuilt and make an adapter or bellhousings. There are firms that do this for Jeeps and other vehicles. The Toyota trans looks to have some prospects. I would also think water jet over plasma cut. Someone on this board took that direction I think with the ZF trans. I think it came down to slave cylinder.
