Hi Folks,
Does anyone have any experience of stripping either the 717.413 (W124) or the 717.417 (W202 or W210) manual gearboxes ?
Why do i ask ?
i've converted a 717.417 to suit my W124 (replacing her broken 717.413 gearbox) but would now like to take one completely apart.
.417 to .413 conversion at it's simplest is:
a) Swap the rear casing to provide mechanical speedo/tacho drive for the W124. Remove the steel spacer on the output shaft and replace it with the helical speedo/tacho drive.
b) Fabricate from angle and sheet steel a bracket for the exhaust pipe support.
Having followed this gentleman's instructive posting on another forum:
717.412 (5 speed manual gearbox) refresh - PeachParts Mercedes ShopForum
the bearings and disassembly are different on the later gearboxes.
The 717.413/7 don't come apart the same as the 717.411/2 do.
Any ideas ?
