Dogleg Transmission for W124
Hey guys,
So my clutch is almost dead, and before I go get it fixed it has been brought to my attention that there is a dogleg transmission for the W124.
I've looked online and didn't find anything in my modest search, so I thought I'd post it here.
I need to know what the shift pattern is (my mechanic's minion informed me he found one that has 1st and second opposite, with 5th in the normal position and reverse where 6th would be) which seems weird to me. And stupid.
It would also be great if someone knows the serial/model numbers of the transmission so I can double check it before I buy it.
Cheers all, Shoomakan

No way am I putting up with shipping. :P
If I recall correctly, the dogleg in question is also installed on BMW's. In which case, it's a simple matter of swapping bell housings.
I just need to double check if my current manual transmission's bell housing is removable.

If I don't find the dogleg, I'm just going to get a new clutch and call it a day. I will keep searching, and when I eventually find one, I'll drop it in.
