I bought a fairly nice 1989 190E 2.6 a couple weeks ago and I reallylike the car, but not a huge fan of the auto box in there. I know there is some info on manual transmissions on the forum, but not much dealing specifically with the 190E/W201 chassis. In any case, I am serious on the idea of converting to a manual transmission. I can modify/fab stuff like crossmembers no problem, but I am unsure of my options regarding the transmission itself. Do all benz engines have to same bolt pattern for the bellhousing? In other words, can I stuff a manual from any other benz in there, or do I need a transmission specifically out of a 190E/300E? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
