Can a 5 speed manual trans be mated to the 4 speed shifter/linkages?
If a 5 speed manual trans was to be installed into a W115 with an existing 4 speed manual, do the shifter rods and shifter assembly need to be modified and or is the 5 speed setup unique?

How common are these 5-speeds anyways? I was just on Wikipedia looking and the info on the W123 and saw that it came with that tranny, and would really like one in the SD. What kind of HP could these trannys take? Quite awhile ago Twizted sent me a PM about the 4-speed install on his SD and said it was near effortless, just extend the d-shaft and the pedal assy near bolted right in.

They are quite rare. It looks like the rods might be made to work with changes but the shifter is unique to the five speed.

I'd assume if one were lucky enough to find one you'd take all accessory parts of course. This tranny would probably be mostly found in Europe then...?

They show up on ebay.de sometimes. You would have to REALLY want it though, with the exchange rate and shipping across the ocean.

If you look here this translates to $817.89 for the transmission.  BTW - Could you use a 5 speed linkages from a gasser? Like a 190E or etc?

I'm assuming here, but my guess would be yes. I've been looking at the different chassis models on Wikipedia and they all are listed as having a 5-speed as an option, and I don't think Benz would have multiple different tranny models. Therefore, I'd say all the linkages will be similar if not the same.

Wow, that shure was expensive. I seem them 5-speeders here at pull-a-parts for about 1500-2500SEK which is about €150-250.

Would perhaps trying to use the shifter from a W201 do the job?
