Does anyone know of any distinct markings or stampings that set apart the C210 manual gearbox? A while back i changed my coupe over to manual, taking all parts from a donor car including gearbox.

Thing is, the stick feels further forward than my old car and I'm sure it's not as smooth. This feels very clicky, if you know what I mean. It's a 5 speed but I did have to drill out the housing holes ( the ones that marry up to the clutch housing studs) a bit to fit the L28. I remember changing out a gearbox in my old car, same L28 and the box was out of a spare c210 i had and it went in with ease. Any ideas?

The actual gear lever sticks from L-series boxes come in a range of shapes. Check that your stick isnt a little straighter than your previous one. I asked Alfadog about this years ago, and from memory the part number for the C210 and 240k boxes was identical, but the Z Boxes were a little different (bronze syncros or something like that).

    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
