450SE W116 trasmission question

[opentec]

Hi, my name is Gaetano and I live in Taranto - Italy.

I have a 1974 W116 450SE without trasmission (automatic 3 speed gearbox).

I have found a gearbox of a W116 350SE.

Can I put this gearbox into my car?


Thanks,


Gaetano [:D]

Hi Gaetano, sorry I can't give a definative answer
However, though the 350 and 450 used the same basic transmission, the W3A 040 in the 350 was uprated to cope with the extra torque for use in the 450, it then became the W3B 050
They both have the same ratios but, probably not a good idea as it may not last to long in a 450
