| w117 5-speed
Hi,
I have an iron 5-speed box from a w117.
I'm considering using it in my G-wagen bolted to at OM617A turbodiesel but I know nothing about the original car.
I have yet to find any useful information on the w117 model.
I'd like to get a seal kit and I'd like to know what torque and horsepower it was rated to work with.
any info would be great. -thanks, Christian |

Lol, was just browsing this forum and saw my old post.
117 was the casting number. Bell casting revealed that the original car was a w115

Really rare tranny. And one year later still no response... There were a couple of versions,one for four cylinder cars (yours probably) and one for the 6 and V8's . The latter have larger bearings to cope . A new ZF five speed conversion for a W113 SL based on that design is $7,000 . |
