For all you guys wanting a 6spd manual
For all you guys wanting a 6spd manual
I came across this info when swapping an om617 into my jeep and figured I would tell you guys. Eventually, I would love to do a 617 pumped up to 400hp in a 65 mustang.
Anyways, you can swap in a Toyota supra transmission thats a super bullet proof 6spd rwd manual. What you do is get a jeep ax15 input shaft an bell housing , swap the shaft and bell housing over to the supra transmission, and get the adapter ring from mercedesdiesel4x4.com for $350. This can also be done with jeep ax15 2wd and Toyota r150/151 2wd transmissions. Much easier than sourcing a Benz manual here in the US and it sure would be cool to have a 6 speed.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
606s are hard to find in the US, and if you're upgrading parts here and there while driving a 617 is easier. But yes, a 606 will hit 400hp much easier than a 617
