Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / November 2007Wanted: W123 or W201 5-Speed Shifter
Thank You for all of your previous responses to my posts. I like driving the 230CE but the RPM's are high at 3000@ 60 MPH. I am preparing to put a 5-speed transmission from a W201 190D in to help out. I expect it to be a bolt-up job. The only problem is finding a 5-speed shifter/selector assembly. It needs to have reverse in the back right position. Does anybody know where I can find one? Thanks, Scott > Thank You for all of your previous responses to my posts. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks, Scott I wrote this group once in regard to replacing my 4sp manual in my 300tdt with a 5 speed and had the reply such as: "the 5speed is the same ratio in 5th as the 4 speed is in 4th. Only the range between top gears is spread differently"... Sooo.. I put 16" wheeels with high profile tires on rear of my td and it is like a 5th gear.. Put the speedo off by about 8 mph.. 57=65.. my tach is not working, so don't know exact rpms.. I feel I still could use a higher gear though.. Anyone ever adapt a Volvo 4/w/OD or any other combo to a 300 turbo block?? I'm sure I could find you a shifter off an 190 5spd.. would that be the right one for you??  SignatureOle Gar, http:coltonmotorexpress.blogspot.com/ How does having the larger tires affect your acceleration? Where does the quote that you gave come from? I'm pretty sure that my five speed which was for a '84 w201 190D, has less than 1:1 high gear. The shifter that I need has reverse to the right and back. Both the earlier 190D(&E eight valve) and W123 with five speed should work. > > Thank You for all of your previous responses to my posts. > > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > http:coltonmotorexpress.blogspot.com/ My 300TDT is totally fine with the larger wheels and tires.. I really couldn't notice any lack of acceleration after installation. I would like a higher ratio still as the power is very adequate. I suppose the professionals are taking the week-end off.. IIRC one of them gave me the information.. mind you, this is for a 5 sp that will bolt up to the 300 block.. They also told me the 190 5sp couldn't be adapted but I didn't inquire of the final ratio of the 190 5sp. -Gar > How does having the larger tires affect your acceleration? > [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] >> >> http:coltonmotorexpress.blogspot.com/ SignatureOle Gar, in the 'lil trailer, under the bridge, down by the river http:coltonmotorexpress.blogspot.com/ > > Thank You for all of your previous responses to my posts. > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > -- > Ole Gar, > > http:coltonmotorexpress.blogspot.com/ i saw one on ebay months ago ( USA) good luck i got a W201 with 4 speed and AMG 16" wheels also need a 5 gear box, but its too expensive international shipping and taxes. also they a have a DTM diferential ;) http://stores.ebay.com/Potomac-German-Auto-Mercedes What is a DTM differential? > > > Thank You for all of your previous responses to my posts. > > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > ;) > http://stores.ebay.com/Potomac-German-Auto-Mercedes > What is a DTM differential? > [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > > - Mostrar texto de la cita - used on DTM race on germany..... |
