Congrats on the sale. Want to talk about that dual mass flywheel now? Thanks! mknMike
Oh. How is the first gear take off with the original 2.65 diff? Or was that swapped. RPMs must be real low at highway speeds. Right? Someone had recommended maybe getting a higher diff ratio (and then speedometer too) from a 260e. I haven’t grabbed one of those (yet). If it’s plenty quick and highway revs are ok in OD, than I’d just keep the stock diff for simplicity.
@Stan_Lution Thank you. Do you still have the dual mass? For sale? I don’t use instagram much, but am @mercwheels
I wonder what the transmission, flywheel and drive shaft came from. I’ve got a 190e 5-speed sitting on the passenger floor of my white w palomino 1992 300te. I think I’d have to take the flywheel from my 1986 300sel 5-speed to be able to put the package together with the 260e drive shaft and w201 pedals. There’s always more work than expected. So kudos to the seller for making one of my dreams happen.
