What type of shifter does Gump have? Most of the manual transmissions that came to the US after about 1965 were on the floor but they were still available on the column for a while. I can't remember whether my '67 200D (W110) auto was a column or floor shift, but my '66 200D manual was a floor shift. By '74 all the W115s (auto or manual) that came to the US were on the floor.

[MBZ] 220D tranny shifter types?
OK W115 owners (Clay). This 1973 220D has an auto tranny with the column shifter. Could both the mannies and autos be had with a column or floor shifter? If I end up buying or hauling off the 1972 220D manny tranny car and decide to just transfer both the engine and tranny over to my auto 220D, would I also have to put in a floor shifter? What type of shifter does Gump have? Kevin in Hillsboro Oregon 1973 220D
Re: [MBZ] 220D tranny shifter types?
Gump has four on the floor. There is a patch job on your car in that spot to allow you to install either manual or auto shift. The stalk shifter I suspect is that way so that the dash indicator can show which gear you are using. with on the floor, indicator is not needed in the cluster On Friday, February 24, 2006, at 12:28 AM, kevin kraly wrote: OK W115 owners (Clay).

Re: [MBZ] 220D tranny shifter types?
The 280S that I checked for Ed B. was column shift. There was a patched panel thing on the floor where a real shift would have been. No mess with console. Might have been some mess with Gump had she had shaft shifter. the console floor would need sawzall to make a spot for shifter.

The Frankenheap has both floor and column shifters, hence the Franken part of the name. (Nuttin' to do with Al.) To convert to a manual you'll need a different steering column, one with all three linkages coming out of it, or you'll need to convert to a floor shifter. I don't believe the auto shift column can run a manual tranny. The Frankenheap has the column you'd need, but there is _no_ way I'm going to swap it out! There are some serious differences in the console floating around, what was done to the Frankenheap's to make room for the floor shifter was not pretty. -- Jim ___ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net -- Clay Seattle Bioburner 1972 220D - Gump 1995 E300D - Cleo 1987 300SDL - POS - DOA The FSM would drive a Diesel Benz
