Is the bolt pattern on the 606 block the same as the 617 block? I have a Getrag 5-spd from a 617 that I would like to bolt to a 606 motor.

Thanks.

Starter is on the wrong side: driver's side 60x and passenger side 61x.

It positivley will not fit the 606. You are in luck though as it will fit my 616.

The compatability issue has been discussed several times before. It will not work.

Drop me a private message if it is surplus to your requirements. I would not like to see you stuck with it. Members should help each other out.

I believe that the OM606 shares a bolt pattern with the OM603 and the M102 (190 2.3-16) gas engine.

Thanks for the responses. Sorry, the trans isn't for sale ... yet. I have a 617A that needs a new transmission and I may use the 5-spd.

I am getting to the point of leaving no stone unturned to locate at least one five speed soon. The turbo 617 I am currently using just seems to lack the charater of my 240ds.

A change to five speeds would much improve them. When my patience runs short I will make it happen I suppose. Somehow or other they really seem like different cars. Yet both share so many common areas at the same time.
