Help me understand what my transmission numbers say.
 

Put the car up on the rack and took a picture add the transmission number stamped into the side of the case. From the factory this car came is an automatic but was converted to manual transmission. It has a 5-speed now. I am attaching a photo the numbers on the case. Anyone can decipher it, please do.

Your transmission model is 717.411


In the US market it came in the W201 chassis

Thank you. Is there a website that lists all the different Transmissions? Do you know the fifth gear ratio?

According to this thread:

12th post,

It's .78

I copied this from the other thread. My car is turning approximately 2,200 at 65 miles an hour. Those are pretty tall gears from a not so powerful engine.

I'm going to start looking for the clutch kit with the flywheel. Everything I've read shows single Mass flywheel. Any suggestions,

What is the year and model of your car ?

1989 190d 2.5 NA 5 cylinder. It came with an automatic from the factory but previous owner did a swap for a 5 sp manual.

Can you guys give me a list of what I would need to do a clutch job besides the obvious. Other things I should replace while the transmission is out. Are there any favorite brands?

Effectively you should order parts for a 1986 190e/d as they went dual mass flywheel sometime 88/89. Google 717.411 or 412, there is a fair amount of info out there
