300e tranny in 190e?
Will the manual transmission for a 300e physically fit the 190e w/o excess banging? Will it fit w/ the 190e's crossmember, or will a new crossmember be needed? TIA for any help.

I can't help with this exact question, but I do know the answer if you were to ask about fitting a 300D manual transmission in a 190D, which should be very similar.
I have a W201 190D. The manual transmission failed, and the replacement that was installed (by a Mercedes dealership) has a part number that starts with 124 instead of 201. This implies that the original W201 transmission may have been superceded by a model that was designed for a W124 car, and it also implies that some 124 transmissions will fit in 201 cars. As a result, I now have a 124 transmission in a 201. Assuming that the transmissions aren't radically different for the gasoline versions of these cars, then it seems likely that the W124 300E transmission would fit in the W201 190E.

Thanks for the info. My worry is that the 300 (w124) transmission would be either too long or too wide to use w/ the 190 body parts.
