Depends on which side the starter motor is, the M102 and 103 have the
starter on the opposite side to Diesel motors.
My 85 201 has a MB 5 speed box while a 81 230TE I bought and dismantled some
time ago had a Getrag 5 speed in it.
Also of note the box in my 201 has a 124 part number on it, so this leads
me to think that this particular gearbox was specifically developed for the
124 chassis and 123 cars had the Getrag box if a 5 speed was required.
However Diesels are different in that they use a bell housing which bolts to
the gearbox, whereas the boxes I have are one piece except for a bit that is
bolted onto the back.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] anybody need a 5 speed Getrag?
Isn't the 5th gear in that tranny a 1:1 ratio...not overdrive? If it fits
in a W201 it should fit any inline engine found in the W124 chassis,
correct?

I think this has been discussed before... but will these work in an '87
300D? If not, what manual trannies will? (Considering power and torque
output, and also appropriate gear ratios for comfortable highway
cruising...)
What kind of 5-speed was used in the six-cylinder R129? That engine made
more HP and about equal torque to a stock 603, IIRC.
