ZF 5 speed transmission wanted

[SpeedModel]

I'm interested in buying a ZF 5 speed for my 250SL. Please message me if you have one for sale.
Thanks!

These are exceedingly rare, and quite costly if you’re lucky enough to find one. Parts hard to find so repairs not easy either.

That being said there are alternatives.

It’s a topic at PagodaFest next week.

Hello Michael,

I would like to join everyone at the upcoming Pagodafest, but I am already committed to be at the Georgia Tech vs. Wake Forest game next Saturday (Go Jackets!). I have briefly looked at a couple of the other 5 speed gearbox conversions that I found online, but the gear ratios offered do not seem ideal.  With that said, I would very much appreciate hearing any solutions that are discussed at Pagodafest.

I expect that some of the topics will be eventually ported to the Tech Manual...
