If you want to do this, you would be better buying a 2001 model - which at the prices they command these days, would still save money on the conversion.
And yes, the 5 speed is a nicer drive...7 speed better again...!
upgrading gearbox
Has anybody upgraded the earlier 4 speed auto box to the later 5 speed auto box?
I have a 1990 500SL with the four speed box.
Can anyone tell me what driving the later 5 speed SL500's are like compared to the earlier 4 speed? Are they more responsive? They always pull away in first rather than second unless I give it full throttle?
