After you've located your flywheel and have that nice chunk of metal in your hands, it's time to find your transmission! If you have a single mass flywheel, consider yourself lucky. You have a large variety of transmissions to choose from from a regular 4 speed w/ a 5th gear overdrive to a full on dogleg getrag from a 190E Cosworth. You can even use a getrag out of an early BMW E30 M3 (Getrag 265) The amazing part of between the W201, W124 and 300SL, is that they all use the same bellhousing! I've temporarily chosen a 4 speed w/ a 5th gear overdrive as a test bed transmission for my coupe. It's the 717.411 transmission found in most early W201s and a lot of W124 diesels in Europe. This particular transmission is known (proven by the Finnish!!!) to be able to withstand around 400hp at the crank. I have a stock engine, so I have no problem. If you need help trying to figure out which transmission you've just bought, take a look at the picture to the right and find the numbers 717.411. Those numbers are the transmission's serial - helps with identifying gear ratios. These numbers can be found on the passenger side of the transmission (driver's side for UK cars).
From club124 about 717.411 Transmissions (early 190E 2.3),
