W115 transmission upgrade!?
W115 transmission upgrade!?
(10-28-2012, 08:45 AM)gaiex Hello,
I'm upgrading my stock motor to OM603/606 with auto gear box (maybe 722.5 or 722.6) but I think I also need different transmission axle and diff setup to handle the power.
Which transmission could fit and handle the higher power (~300hp)?
Thanks

722.6 or WA580 + controller from Ole

Hi,
read this post.

Any Differential/final-drive from any R107, W114, W115, W123, W126 made Before Mid 1985 can be made to fit.
After 1985, the mounting is entirely different and is known as the 'second-generation' models--You would need to change the subframe and maybe more to use the second gen type--dunno if its even been done.
Choose the diff ratio to suit your trans/engine combo from a pre 1985 car listed above in the MB range and you wont go too far wrong!....
As to the Trans, a 722.3 from a 300D W124 may be a good start, may need to increase the number of clutch-plates to handle the extra power--limit of my present knowledge
Clutch plates come in different thicknesses to account for the same space in the clutch.
Lots of thin ones for the high torque applications so I gather....
