Mercedes-Benz SL 107, W116 & W126 V8 Automatic to Six Speed Manual Gearbox
... when i clicked on the link, it seems that it can be fitted on a W124036 and a R129066
6 cylinder and V8 Mercedes Auto 3 and 4-speed transmission from the last third of a century belong to history, power losses, consumption at high speeds and enormous wear and tear.
A few years ago, a gearbox was developed for the W113 and W111 with extra overdrive for Mercedes Pagoda, suitable for six-cylinder engines of the series M108/127/129/130 also the W198 SL300.
The Range has now expanded to cover V8 models including the W107/108/109/116/126, series engines M100/116/117/119. Offered is a complete transmission kit to perform a conversion. From shifting gate to the flywheel, reinforced clutch and propeller shaft, pedals mechanism plus more.
We use the latest generation Getrag Gearbox that can Withstand upto 700Nm or torque in short intervals or a continuous load of 550Nm

Customer Reference 6-speed transmission
“I have converted my 230SL pagoda to the 6 speed gearbox because the old 4 speed transmission demanded such high RPM from the engine. I feared this may cause future issues for my SL and I wanted more out of the car. My local specialist installed the new 6-speed gearbox and it fitted perfectly. The installation was definitely worth it, driving the 230SL is really fun now! The engine now runs at an optimal speed range between 2000 and 4500 rpm. I will not reinstall the original gearbox for now and leave it in storage. Regards CLB”
