190e with a manual trans?
Hi all,
Did MB sell the 190e with a manual transmission in the states?
Is this a strong transmission?
Also, how would I be able to easily tell if the car was converted?
Thanks

yes, both the Getrag 'dog-leg' 5-speed from the 16v and the more economical ratio standard H 5 speed.
people I know are running 4 or 500hp through getrags
the standard trans can take 250-300 with a good clutch
84-88, 91-93 190E 2.3 8 valve
86-93 190E 2.6 12 valve
xx-xx 300E 2.6 12 valve
they all work on the M10x and OM60x motors.

best way to tell is run your vin through the russian owners club vin checker to see what your came came with from the factory.

Thanks for the replies. If i'm ready to buy, I'll check the vin.
SO-How much would this 1987 190 with 10000 yes,10000 miles, be worth
in nearly perfect condition, @ a used car dealer?

the gross taxi colored one? not worth more than 1k to me. Who cars if it has 10K itll never be worth much, is undesired, and the low mileage just means it sat for a looooong time and will need a lot of work.

It will bolt up, but you will need the the pedals and hydraulics, the 2.6L manual flywheel and the front part of the driveshaft to fit.

I have a 1991 2.3 8v 5 speed. Love it. The automatic transmission actually starts off in second gear which really bogs down the 2.3 off the line as it pulling almost 4000 lbs of car. If you daily driver, standard have pattern would be better as the gtrag has different gears and you will be in higher rpm range on the freeway unless you swap the final drive gear in the diff to the 16v model which had a mechanical (or hydrolic on the cars with sls suspension) limited slip. Bit of a headache tbh.
