Re: [diesel_mercedes] You guys see this?

 

Really the car only has 66 hp stock and that brand new with all the were it maybe has 60 hp but the stick does make it feel stronger

I don't think the manny tranny would add 30 horsepower to the engine.  (It's a '78, so non-turbo.  Only had 80 hp on it's best day.)  Still, pretty kewl....

So, we're thinking the 4-speed was installed from the factory...?

4 speed would give you at least 110 horsepower at rear wheel.You still lose about 10 hp from a manual from drive shaft and heavy flywheel.Automatics lose 33% power.
