Getrag 717.400? wtf? Euro? Part number questions
 

I found a rare item on the shelf of my warehouse. Its a Mercedes Benz 5 Speed. Its maked 300D 5 Speed in grease pen. The part number on the side is Getrag 123.260.20.01 and 717.400.04.08.49 I have called everyone I can think of trying to get more information about it. All that I have been able to find out is that there are none in the US and the are avavable rebuilt from Germany. Does anyone here have any information??

Thanks

Prepare for an onslaught of PM's with folks trying to grab that before anybody else can........;)

Not completely true...I know where one other is.:D

so...are you selling? Sorry had to be one of those guys.

Actually it is for sale, but I would like to know what I am selling.

do a search on w123 5 speed. it has been much discussed here on the forum. I would also be interested and I am local.

joey, were you the guy that won the warehouse full of MB parts in South FL off of ebay?

I know where a couple more are too;)

This will give you an idea of how rare and sought after they are-

Do you happen to have the shifter to go along with it?

here is a similar one (complete swap)

this is not exact but they onlu come up about 1 a month or so

Nope

Also I'm not the guy one ebay that won a lot of MB stuff. I work at a european car body shop and dismantler outof Largo, Florida.

The number off the 5 spd from an 82 240D thats now in my 79 is 717 400 00 012091. and 123.260.20.01

Is this the same 5 speed that was offered in the 86 300E?

Not at all.
