WTB: 190D 2.2l 5spd Differential
Hey all,
The diff in my '85 190D 2.2l 5spd makes a huge amount of noise. Its actually a replacement diff (the other one was actually not quite as bad) and its driving me crazy... I'd bought this replacement from "Sports and Imports" in Georgia, it was a great price but... So I'm looking for a replacement, AFAIK its got to be from an '84 - '85 2.2l 190D, I *think* the manual and auto were the same. I also think the early 190E 2.3l would work although it'll be a slightly lower ratio. Alternately if anybody knows somebody who has the wherewithal to rebuild an MB diff drop me a note, I'd actually prefer to have mine rebuilt and then know its good... Thanks Curt

I have a 5 speed differential out of an 85 190E 2.3. No noises and no whining. It has 119k miles on it.
PM me if you're interested. I'm not really asking for a boat load either. I've sold a 2.88 differential to a member here and AFAIK, he's happy.

Do you know what the ratio of that diff is?
AFAIK 3.42 is normal for a 2.2l 5spd, supposedly an '84 190E has 3.46, I don't think there'll be much issue, the difference is pretty small.

Just crawled under the car and it's a 3.23. I don't know, it seems like a good trade off for your diesel; lower RPMs at speed and a little boost in MPG.

Hmm, I'll have to have a think about that. I'm one of those who doesn't think RPMs make a big difference in fuel economy in a diesel.
5th gear in a 2.2l 190D is highway only and only above 65mph, I wouldn't mind going lower in gearing but taller gears are gonna eat up all my get up and go... We're not talking about a seriously quick car anyway.

I guess it'd be like a 240D but without the low end torque (the 616 is much torquier than the 601, I've got both...) ahhh, I dunno, I want the hassle over but...
I'll keep you in mind, I'm just winding up into high gear looking for this thing...

I'd even take a 3.42... Unfortunately I think I'm limited to an '84-'85 190D 2.2l or '84 190E 2.3l...
