1988 300ce
any non w124 transmissions (manual) able to fit into a w124 (say 300ce)
I'm trying to determine any possible options as to transmission that are an alternative to the classic 4 speed in my 88' 300ce. I need a manual somehow in there, I love the car and feel like an auto just isn't doing it justice, this being my project vehicle and all. ANY and all ideas will be appreciated.

You can also use the 6-speed from an M111 powered SLK or C230 Sport. You will have to fabricate a trans mount and drive shaft but the trans will bolt right up to an M103 or M104 engine.

In the states here its next to impossible to find 5 speed W124's. The 190e 5spd tranny will fit as stated above but you also need (correct me if I'm wrong) to locate a single mass flywheel in order to mate it up to your M103 properly. What fun a 5spd would be....

"88 300CE- First Year Production
My tranny is starting to act up where it shifts only when I let up on the rpms, doesn't want to shift too well when it gets so hot, and well that pisses me off at times, so has anybody here rebuilt a tranny before? Is it that bad of a headache? I see somebody mention a tranny from a M111 or from a 190E are these bolt on for automatics too??? Any additionals accessories needed if so? And aren't those tranny ment for smaller cars? Any other trannys to pick from or stronger or bigger???
