man you a genius...my w203 c230(772.9) auto tranny is the worst transmission ever built...Im planning on changing it to a 716 6 speed...this video brings hope...thumbs up
Hey Robin. I hope you are well. I saw both your videos and I must say this is the best I've come across of something practical for a manual conversion on a w202. Phenomenal! Would you consider doing a conversion for me? I have a w202 97 c230 kompressor. And I want to get a 6 speed in. I don't think any mechanics have the experience now of these old mercs. Would you consider it as paid work?? I know there are some manuals out there for the c230 kompressor but there as rare as hens teeth now. However there ate plenty of manual gearboxes for sale. I think my skill level is not there for such a big job. Let me know buddy.
Hello. I swaped 5.5 M113 is 2000 C240. Everything runs good, but I have stock 5 gear transmition and stock 3.67 diff. Tell me, if you can, what diff you use, what ratio, what car should I look for? Do you have a diff with ASD or some other lock? Thank you, you have built a great car, congratulations and admire
Hope you don't mind me commenting, I've just done a auto to manaul conversion on my Viano (W639). However it won't turn over when turning the key to position 3. I noticed on the back of the old auto shifter than there was a button type cable that got pressed down when the shifter is in Park. (If I don't press this down when the key is in it doesn't release the key). Im guessing I need to find a way to have this button permanently pressed down. However is there a way of identifying what cable needs to be Bridged on my round connector (would it be harmful if I tired the same coloured wires or would you know which ones need to be Bridged)? Viano 2.2 euro 4 Thank you in advance (any help would be highly appreciated). Ps great youtube video btw!
@@raw-amg4396 My swap is now completed if you want to check it out! We ended up coding the car to a manual rather than tricking the system. We did run it with the gear selector in P for the first couple drives though ;)
Great adaptation and skills, well done!😊

What is the brand or part number for the single mass flywheel?

What brand flywheel is that?
Love the channel! Sub'd! I have a w203 C55, do you think the switch trick on the automatic gear control would work for my car as well?
Good question I would say yer

How did you connect the reverse wires?
Joined the reverse wires from the manual reverse light switch to the connector that was in the automatic gear selector
Awesome!
