Hi all,
I just wondered what parts were needed to convert from Auto to Manual in a 190 and if there is a difference in fitting between using a standard manual or a dogleg box. The last car I converted was an E30 325i and that was about 15 years ago in a shed when I lived in New Zealand.
So far I've deduced I need:
- Gearbox (duh)
- Gearstick including linkages (are these the same for the dogleg and "normal" 5spd?)
- Clutch (would the clutch for the 2.6 work with any manual W201 box?)
- Flywheel (from a W201 2.6 or W124 260e)
- Pedal box (it's my understanding that the W201 and W124 pedal box is the same)
- Propshaft (front part from any manual W201/W124)
- Hydraulic pipes
- Bolts for the manual gearbox (I assume they are a different length to the auto bolts)
- Gearbox Crossmember from a manual car
So have I done my research correctly or am I missing anything?
Many thanks in advance!
