(06-23-2019, 01:35 PM)flyer I have seen that people are using stand alone electronics to shift a 722.6 and I was assuming that dead electronics would probably disable the transmission.
Has anyone done something like a full manual push button control that's all switches and relays instead of a microcontroller? I would love to carry something like that as a spare.
I forgot to ask earlier, is there any difficulty putting a RWD 722.6 in a G Wagen with it's transfer case?
Hopefully I can get a 90's G Wagen that has more similarly with the G500 model that I can find some used parts for. I would like to do some interior upgrades and I hope wrecked G500s would be good for drivetrain parts.
I understand that a big bore injection pump would be needed and maybe a turbo swap. Does anyone have a comparison of the torque characteristics of stock and mild upgrade turbos on an OM606?
Is there any torque level where the bottom end becomes the weak link in the engine?
I would like to use as many stock parts as possible and just keep the power low enough to be reliable. That will guide my choices for the parts I do need to change out.
The 722.6 is complicated enough that there's no way you'll shift it using relays. The solenoids must be powered in a sequence to complete a shift.
