ive personaly seen a clutch let go and bash threw a steel bell houesing with ease enough to penatrate the floor and up into the dash on a dodge pickup that wasint very modified . so the aluminum on the 5 speed w201 bellhouesing wouldint be even a match for a clutch flying apart . also herd of many injurys from this happining .

and i can say that the bell houesing bolts are a major hassel to get to on both the automatic and the 5 speeds .i am changin my 88 w201 over from auto to 5 speed also using a sachs drivin plate , preasure plate and throw out bearing . glad to see there are geting to be more people interested in 5 speed 190's ! as soon as i get a flywheel for my benz ill be back on the road .

also would an 85 flywheel fit an 88' 2.3 engine and an 87 clutch and preasure plate ? i bought the kit for my old flywheel and come to find out that its totaly un usable . i dont want to go through another 2 weeks or more waiting for another clutch kit to be deliverd , so i was woundering if itd fit on an 85 flywheel that a local wrecking yard has . thanks in advance for any help .
