Title: Looking for manual transmission for 1965 230sl
Post by: javiersnyder on June 02, 2024, 14:28:09

Hello, I am looking for a manual transmission for a 1965 230sl. If anyone knows a reputable address or a member who wants to resell it to me, please contact me.

Thank.

I have a rebuilt one but I'm in the UK.

I don't know what the cost of shipping internationally is, probably a few hundred dollars plus, but Colin has a good reputation here (and in UK of course) so factor it all in if you cannot find what you want in the USA, which by the way, will also cost a bit no matter what the origin/destination is.

An alternative is fitting a new 5-speed. Our member here, AlexD, just had this done with great success when his car was in for crash repair. The firm he used sells the Tremec and the kit to install it. A few hiccups along with way but nothing that wasn't solved quickly.

Transmission must include the bell housing as it's integral to the unit.

 :-\ I guess he meant 480,- and not 4850,-, cos thats a realistic price for gearboxes...
