Its $900 if you go to the right place and one person can bring back the entire order of tranny.

Another problem 'we' might run into, it that parts can cost more than or close to an entire assembly. 'We' could though see if it could be ordered as a kit. That might be less expensive than individual parts. Of course if 'we' had someone on the inside (Force), then it might make things easy.

Just a quick questions, does anyone knows the part number of the 5-speed manual transmission used in the diesel W201? You know, like the 190D 190D 2.5 etc...

I have a couple of ideas but I need that number to verify something before posting them. I don't want to waste your time with "factless" ideas...

Soon to be installed: Bilstein HD, R107 front discs and 4-piston calipers, HD Suspension springs, wagon front swaybar.

I just found the anwer to my own question. The part number is:

124 260 0701 7174110 - 1207569

If you look at the picture, that thing looks a lot like the 4-speed and the 5-speed from a w123 (except for the starter bump on the opposite side).

My bet is that its possible to use the bell half (front) of the housing from a 4 speed and attach the rear half of the W201 gearbox to it... But who knows...

I doubt its mixable...

Good idea, but it is all one piece. It has been suggested that you could have the proper bell welded on, but nobody has tried yet.

We looked into that when I had winmutt's tranny at Stu Ritter's shop. The internals between the W123 and W201 5-speeds are a completely different layout, nothing internal will directly swap between the two.
