E class gearbox

[leethesign]

Sorry to post yet again on this topic, but I can't find the label with the gearbox number on it...do you know where it's located on the box by any chance? The only number I've found is a great big long one, which isn't the one I need.

Thanks

Lee

Put your chassis number in here http://old.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/?lng=eng

It will give you engine no, gearbox no, and factory spec.

Done that Richard - thanks.

Would you happen to know how to decipher the gearbox model from the transmission code I've got, which is:
717417 07 507934

What are the first 6 vin numbers after WDB

OK I can confirm that what you need is a 717.417 box,, these are the only number that you need.


This box was used on the 210610,210.010 so only used on the 250 diesels

It might be easier to get yours re built

Malcolm,

There are some great advantages to living in Spain - none of them include either buying, selling or repairing cars!

The best quote I've had for re-building is in excess of 3,000 euros - over 2,000 for the bits alone!

I can't find a used box anywhere here either.

This in a country where there are more Mercs than you can shake a stick at.

Still, it's much cheaper to lose your licence here - I only pay 3.89 euros for a bottle of gin, so it ain't all bad!
