Bobby: do you miss your 190E 2.6 with a 5-speed manual tranny ?

Larry: how do you like the ratios with your 300E's 5-speed manual tranny ?

Do either of you know the gear ratios for your respective trannys ?

I'm contemplating putting in a 5-speed manual tranny on my C36 powered W124 wagon with either a 3.27; 3.07; or 2.87 rear end.

I've narrowed it down to four manual trannys:

1) 300E 5-speed;
2) 190E 2.6 5-speed;
3) 190E 2.3-16v 5-speed close-ratio (5th gear is 1:1)
4) 300SL (R129) 5-speed

Comments, suggestions, etc ?

Thanks in advance,
