Manual transmissions that bolt to the 300E's I6?
I'm toying around with the idea of doing a manual transmission swap into my 1988 300E, and was wondering if I'd have to track down an OE 5-speed (impossible here in the states as far as I've seen) or if an aftermarket transmission made by someone like Getrag or ZF would work? I'd sincerely appreciate any advice anyone could give me. Thanks in advance.
Note - I'd also like to know if an aftermarket one can indeed bolt to the engine, what kinds of transmission mount modifications would be necessary? Would a custom driveshaft be in order? I'd like to start getting an idea of how much I'm going to be spending on this project.
