240D Gearing
240D Gearing
Does anyone know if the 240D has the same gearing as the 300D?
This weekend pulled a OM616 with 4 speed manual transmission for a conversion into a 450SL.
We got the shifter assembly for the 4 speed, driveshaft, and petal assembly.
We have a 300D parts car, but if the 240D has different gearing, we still have time to pull the diff out before the vehicle gets crushed.
Looks like the 123 diff will fit right into the 107 chassis of the 450SL.
keep the differential of the 450 if i where you, the 3.46 of the 300d or the 3.69 of the 240d is painfully highreved...
both fourspeed is 1:1 on the fourth, no idea about the earlier gears, but cant imagine they are much different.

3.07 or 3.06 is what it is supposed to have... depending on year

The real trouble is finding a good 5 or 6 speed in the US without having to take out a 2nd mortgage. 4 speeds are what are available in the junkyard. Can I get an amen?

I would use an early model iron case trans, but it would be interesting to know what it was actually rated for.
My main reason for posting was to try and find out how it did. I bet it will be find as long as I am not popping the clutch lol... I have known them survive 200HP Diesels very aggressively driven, but they were in lighter cars too...
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?
Don't sweat the clutch/trans, trust your gut. If you don't slam it it will last a while. Case study: me using my 2.5L light clutch/transmission like most people use a fullsize...made it to 238k
