Will a W123-gasser 5-speed fit a OM617/616?

Does anyone know if a 5-speed transmission from a W123 gasser will fit a OM617?
I see these for sale for no bucks at all and would like to get a five-speeder..

i think the engine is almost identical, but with a different cam and cam towers, upper oil pan, and some other minor differences

If its from the M110 (280E/CE/TE), yes. If its from the M102 (230E/CE/TE, 190E 2.3/16V), M103 (190E 2.6), M123 (250/250T) or any OM60x diesel (190D 2.0/2.2/2.5), no.

When I saw you post you can get them for almost nothing I though "WHERE? I want one!"... then I looked at your info in the upper right corener of your post and saw you're in Sweden (darn!).

Wish they could be had "for no bucks at all" on our side of the pond...

Forced, thanks, that's exactly what I needed. Will look for M110-powered cars from now on. Went to the nearest yard on my lunch break today, they listed a W115/220D with a 5-speeder that came in just yesterday, but it was probably a typo since it had the standard 4-speeder. Bummer..

rcounts, well, not entirely free but manual transmissions go for a unit price of about $85 at yards if you pull it out. Entire parts cars can be found for about $250.. pull the tranny, sell whatever can be sold and scrap the rest and you'll almost have your tranny for free.
