Hello All - -
I have a contact who is looking to sell a used Getrag 5sp. manual transmission. His asking price is $1,000.
I can vouch for this fellow, John Muldoon. He operates a business in Delaware that specializes in performance and transmission upgrades for diesel powered vehicles (
https://www.muldoonsdiesel.com). Contact him through the website, and you may use my name as your referral.
This unit does not include the shift linkage or any kind of bell housing. Mileage is 200KM, and he says this was tested in a Mercedes before it was pulled. The transmission code is 717.400 and it is compatible with passenger side starter bell housing.
I can personally attest to the robustness and smooth-shifting of this type transmission, because I have one of these installed in the 300TD-T that I purchased from John.
