What did I do now

[Jeff]

Pathetic little Mercedes can't even do a burnout:/ on that note the trans lost all forward gears lol

That doesn't surprise me, the 8v and 12v w201's weren't much to write home about in the power department.  They still look awesome though!  Great lawn ornament!

But won't do a burnout? I could get a geo tracker to burn rubber=)

[Jeff]

Lol now I come to a decision. Buy a transmission or a transmission rebuild kit? Or sell motor, interior parts, and all electronics for enough money to do a v8 swap and a straight axel.

Or... 16v swap

I have a hard time believing theres much more than $600-800 worth of parts to sell on the car (including engine) since the 190e 2.6 isnt a thriving market like the e30 market is.

My vote is to get a fresh trans from a rebuilder.

[Jeff]

Yea very true that 2.6l is just horrible. I'm The motor would be leaving in multiple parts seeing as parts on them sell for more that the motor itself. Interior parts would maybe get me $200 misc electronics and other in necessary items possible $130.

The master rebuild kit is only $280 and the servo piston that is most likely the reason the car has no forward gears is $130. I'll probably just check and see if the piston broke. If not I'll pull the trans and see it the forward drum and one way clutches are still good before I spend the money for the rebuild kit.

Auto transmissions only take about 3 hours to rebuild mostly due to all the cleaning required.

The video i saw of it looked about as fast as a stock civic or stock s10

..... Which makes perfect sense.

[KaiserRolls]

For flathead v8

All the weight & no power

Go steam.  External combustion is making a come back!

[Jeff]

So many options to choose from. The pulse jet will be the next big thing though.

There's no way that thing will pass inspection, front bumper is too low to the ground

Add a few coil spring spacers.
