As the owner of two 123 Series mercedes with 5 speed manual transmissions and having done several other automatic transmisssion conversions to 4 speed transmission and having been very pleased with the results, I wonder how many of you would be interested in 5 speed manual transmissions fi they were available?

Let's say that you could purchase a low mileage 5 speed in the hundred thousand mile range with shift mechanism and shift linkage, would you be interested and what would be a reasonable price to you. Idealy of course, you'd need a 300D manual flywheel as well. Let's assume that those were also available to those not wishing to use a 240D flywheel or a 110 flywheel, which can be dione and have been done.

Furthermore, all the 280e, 280ce, 280se, 280sel, and 280sl owners could replace those expensive automatic transmissions with these unitsat maybe half the price of a rebuilt automatic.

And best of all the wear and tear on the engine would be less at highway speed and the highway mileage would definitely go up.

What's it worth? And remember, I may just have some available, but is it worth my time??????
