Looking for in depth, highly detailed information on Mercedes Manual Transmissions? Are you an antique car collector or do you enjoy driving a 30 year old Mercedes that gets 30 plus miles per gallon of diesel fuel? To be perfectly honest, Mercedes has not used many standard shift transmissions, or gearboxes as they call them, for about 20 some years, except in certain sporty models or special order vehicles.
During my professional career as the owner, operator and a participator in my transmission shop from 1981 to 2006, we rarely worked on a Mercedes standard shift transmission. The ratio was never tallied up, but I assure you it was very low compared to Mercedes automatic tranny’s. Simply put, they choose to outfit the bulk of their cars with their excellent automatic shift transmissions.
I remember when I was about ten years old my best friends mom had a Mercedes 4 door car with a 4 speed manual shift on the steering column. Very unusual at the time to see a 4 on the ‘tree’.
Of the manual units I did work on, they were constructed in a typical German fashion, excellent engineering and tip top parts. Pretty dang simple, eh? They have a vibe for building well engineered cars, Porsche is the best built car in the world, that’s a fact.
My bet is you are reading this post because you are interested in buying a replacement unit. While you may indeed want to buy a rebuilt transmission, you don’t want to rebuild it yourself. If that were the case, you would have searched for something different.
With that in mind, our inventory has never been overstocked with Mercedes manual transmissions for sale. Partly due to the lack of vehicles manufactured by said company with standard gearboxes, and in part because they last a long time.
What we stock is the most common units available in the last 20 years. They are all pre-tested and certified to work perfectly. We do this regardless of what interests you have, for instance you may be interested in rebuilt manual transmissions, or possibly a good used unit.
