1980 230TE 5 speed manual box upgrade

[gregdeklerk]

I have no idea if it would fit.

4 speed and 5 speed Mercedes Getrag from a    diesel 



Wouldn't a W201 2.3 16V 5 speed fit that 230TE ?

You willing to sell that 5-speed?

I don't think an tranny from a diesel will fit a 230TE.  The starters are on different sides.  I believe it will fit a 280 though.  Hey, I know a 230TE euro aroudn me with some rust that's sitting at a friends body shop.  Want to trade 5 speeds??

I have a 5-Speed gear box for sale that is in a 1984 190E. Yes the starter is on the drivers side. I am selling the entire vehicle so it would be great for a little conversion. I dont mess much with the 190E but since I work on Mercedes all diffrent makes and models make their way to me weather I want them or not. I am not at the shop right now so I can post any photos but I have the vehicle up on E-bay so I will put the link here. The E-bay listing shows the transmission and such so it might be worth checking out. Also important is that I am willing to pull the transmission and all of the componets and sell them seperatly but the best deal comes buying the entire vehicle. I dont know for sure that these 190e transmissions will fit and I know they have a hydro clutch.

Anyway here is the link to the E-bay listing.

When I get back to the shop on Monday I can post photos of the transmission.

Good luck, and for what its worth the 5 speed is a riot to drive but still lacks the fun cuz its connected to a 4 cyl as I am used to a V8.

Hi ,
Now that I have my Euro guage cluster I am looking to install a 5 speed manual gearbox into my factory factory 4 speed car. Are there any alterations necessary when doing this...? What manual 5 speed gear box should I look for...? I have a good lead but just want to be sure I am getting the right box.....Thanks for any help you can offer !

                              Regards , 230TE

You have the 102 engine with black valve cover and starter on the left side.
you can fit transmissions from 201 and 124 series.

Thanks ! 

My lead for a 5 speed box died on me...as in he doesn't answer my email's....I just hate that !!

i am also looking for a 5 speed manual. what about a toyota cressida w55 or w58. i would imagine a custom bell house and propshaft would be in order. not sure about the flywheel,clutch and pressure plate. and what about the input bearings. can anybody share some info on this?
