300TD 1992
auto to manual conversion
I am converting my 1992 300TD (non turbo) automatic transmission to manual. I am having difficulty finding out the 5 speed manual gearbox 5th gear ratio and diff ratio associated with the manual transmission. Does anyone know the correct ratios please. I believe the ratios to be :
Automatic Gearbox 4th gear-> 1:1, associated diff -> 3.07:1
Manual Gearbox 5th gear -> 0.799:1, associated diff -> 3.67:1
Can anyone confirm this as being correct please?
Also any ideas where to get a 3.67 diff in the UK?

How can you even think about it?
Feels like a disgrace to such a fine car, manual gearboxes belongs in sporty versions and not a merc like this.
What will you gain of this? The cccleration improvement will be minimal.
