I'm contemplating putting in a 5-speed manual transmission 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 ?

Anyone know the ratios for options 1, 2, and 4 ?

Thanks in advance,
:-) neil
