So a few months ago I blew the transmission in my 1984 190E. I am, for the most part, a do it yourself kind of guy (college has me too broke to be able to afford to pay others to do work for ma haha)and im going to swap the transmission for a new one i just got off a friend of the family from another 84' 190E. I was wondering how difficult this proceedure is and how long it normally takes. Thanks, Brian.

*Note: It has a manual transmission.

 

Typically can be done with the right tools and equiptment within 2-4 hours......but if your doing it on your back in your drive way bench pressing the tranny allow yourself 2-3 extra hours and a few minutes in between to pound down a few Heinekens...P.S. save yourself some greef and also replace your Clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing, and throw out bearing while your in there......nothing feels better than completing a job yourself.

 

How many miles did it have?

 

Awesome thanks for the time table. I was planning on replacing most of that stuff anyway because with my luck ill get the new tranny in and then something will go wrong so I figured i might as well replace it all while its out. My car has 157,000 and it was the original transmission in it so its not that bad, i really put a beating on her too because I knew it was going so i just finished it haha, but now shes gonna be treated good again.

 

I HAD MERCEDES 190 E 2.6 1993 SOME TIMES WHEN I STOP AND RE START IN 10 TO 15 MINITS IT DOSE NOT SATRAS IT TAKES LOTS OF SELF AND THEN STARTS BUT REMAIN RUFGH IHAD TO KEEP IT EXCELERATED FOR A WHILE THEN IT IS OK OTHER WISE ON SLOW LIKE ON RED LIGHT IT STOPS
