old post but very helpfull

looks like i owe tom a quarter

got my 93 190e sportline swapped over to manual finally! Been driving it for 5 months and i love it! I used the single mass flywheel trans sourced from an 86 300e and yes, the shifter assy DID work =)

Sent you an e-mail. Do you have the 300E manual trans crossmember left over?

Thanks.

fraid not

I've seen CLK manual transmissions on ebay every now and then for about 900$ recently.

There are also a few findable at www.car-part.com with varied prices.

OK, old thread I know, but this is exactly the swap I'm contemplating doing, and it would be a HUGE help if someone here who's already done it could give a definitive list of what parts are needed.

I have:
an '87 300D Turbo with troublesome slushbox

I will be buying:
190E 2.3-16 transmission but nothing else

I can easily get:
190E 2.3 pedal assembly, shifter, shift rods, flywheel, clutch, master & slave cylinders

Also, there's a good shop locally that can shorten or lengthen the driveshaft as necessary and rebalance it.

What am I missing?

haven't reread the thread, but you need to be aware that the 16 valve trans does not have an overdrive 5th. It's nearly the same ratio as your auto box's 4th. A non 16vlv manual trans will have its 4th same as the auto box 4th (around 1:1 ratio). Its 5th is around .78:1 ratio giving it rather long legs. Also, research the use of gasser flywheel on the diesel.

EDIT: add manual trans cross-member for your chassis. Also the wood shifter surround is different.

Hi guys. Old thread, but... I have mistakenly purchased what I surmised to be a 220e or 200e 5-speed w124 that is 6 hours from me and advertised as a e320/320e. Needless to say, I am bummed out to discover it's a 4-banger and not the 217 hp m104. When I discovered it was not a m104, I didn't give up (because I've got a 1993 300se m104). I didn't give up when I discovered the trans case for a m104 717.450 was a different part number than the 717.412 or 717.413 that I believe is in the m111. But when I discovered that the m104 flywheel is unique and $500-700, that's when I gave up.

Anybody need parts or want to take over my purchase?

price and location?

Sorry I didn't realize my profile hasn't been filled out. I've spent $550 plus time so far, and I'm ready to try and cancel my transaction via eBay. I'd need to make profit in order to bring the car home from upstate NY, Hudson Falls, NY to my friend's warehouse in Wilmington, Delaware. But I've had some request for the pedals and possibly manual windows (yet to be verified).

And I had tho that it was a no brainer purchase. LOL. No title as the guy sent it to Albany and decided not to pay the $250 registration and inspection fees. I assume if you aren't a NY state resident, then forget about getting the title. 200k and it probably has rust being a Massachusetts and Upstate NY car.
