5speed

I have a shift/gearbox problems which are really bad but ONLY when the car/gearbox is cold. When the car is warm, there are zero issues:confused: The problem is when I set off and the car accelerates and all seems okay but the first time I stop and set off again, the car starts to...

This car looks awesome. from the article: This 1988 Mercedes Benz 300CE was converted to AMG Hammer spec from new, and though it’s not clear which of the model’s two “base” V8’s it was originally equipped with, it is known that the Affalterbach firm swapped in a range-topping 6.0 version...

Is it a straight swap? I've had two w124s, one an estate with the 5-speed auto, and my current '93 E320 with a 4-speed box. The tranny might be starting to slip a bit, so I'm thinking: can I do a swap to a 5-speed rather than rebuilding mine? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello all, Firstly an introduction. I have just registered but I've been into Mercedes for a good few years now. I have three W124 saloons, an '88 230E, an '89 300E and a '90 260E. In the past I've had a W123 wagon, coupe and a W201 2.6. I'm currently gathering all the parts I need to...

No improvements/differences over the lesser models? What's a good price for a good used E55 box?

hi everyone a few things have been doing my head in trying to work out faults with my car when accelerating at any rpm and letting go of the pedal the revs hold there then drop very slowly, when reving seems slightly less responsive and mpg seems to have dropped slightly back in the summer on...

Hi, I've been offered a 5speed auto which is known good and I have a 5speed in my car but are all the 5speeders interchangable both mechanically and electrically or did they change them as they went along? Cheers

Hi, newbie here! I have a 1996 cab that I've any number of little issues to sort out but the most worrying is the gearbox issue. I've trawled through lot of threads on it but none seem to help! The problem is its missing out 4th gear, going 3rd to fifth instead. I've made a blink tester but when...

First of all having difficulty shifting into first and second. This is mostly when stationary but on the odd occasion it is slick. Seems to be fine when the car is moving but can do it when crawling. Clutch seems fine and all other gears are no problem. Tend to find I can back off the selection...

I got this on Ebay from a guy in Germany that listed it as from a W140 model, and in fact the part number on it is 140 267 04 10 but the shift pattern is wrong for my 1995 S280. On my car, 1st is up to the left like on U.S. 300E models. I never imagined there would be more than one shift pattern...

Currently trying to fashion up a dipstick for checking the gearbox oil. I've used the level measurements for the dipstick from the photo on an old thread here. My first attempt looked the business but was too stiff and wouldn't go round the bends (an old VHF arial). My second attempt is...

Frustrated of France writes: Car has now had new engine mounts and the Crank Shaft Position Sensor, AT LAST, has been changed. So, what's changed? Very little, really. Idle smooth as silk, as always. It still stalls 90% of the time when shifted into neutral at, say 50 MPH. "The 'box...

Hi All, Another challenge! Idle smooth as silk after day's cleaning etc. and finding disconnected vacuum connection deep under idle control valve. Anyway, the reason for action was that: "The 'box changes from 3rd to 5th with only the mearest hint of 4th gear!" It does change into 4th under...

When did they become a standard fit? Aug 99? Before or after? TIA.

I have this gray market '95 model with a stick, however 5-speeds were never imported into the U.S.A. The shift boot is missing and I thought of asking some junkyards over there but someone said that very few were sold even in England with the 5-speed. Has anyone come across one in a junkyard?

1996 N reg Blue/black S320 Petrol 5-speed Auto Superb, enthusiast-owned car in fantastic condition inside and out. The blue/black paintwork is 99% blemish-free with one very small key dent below the petrol filler cap. Otherwise the paint is in fantastic condition and the dark colour really...

I have just purchased a 1985 w123 280te with a manual 5 speed getrag gearbox. It is rusty but drives superbly. The engine and box are going in my 1961 220 se Coupe until i restore the original running gear (expensive). I have only ever heard bad things about manual boxes from this era but...

I thought I would put up a few photos and add to them later. This is what it looked like when I bought it. (dents and all) Stock interior with 5-Speed and Active Bass Stereo Hella Euros, Clear corners and Stock Grill painted black. (waiting to install Avantgarde grill)...
