Hi everyone,
I'm in the process of converting my G290TD from automatic to manual. The manual transmission is a 711.113 and most other parts were gathered over time from various W460s by a buddy of mine. Parts wise I thought we were all set but we got a surprise last week. The flywheel used with the automatic transmission has two sets of teeth: the usual ring gear and another which only contains 5 tabs (left of picture below). The manual flywheel that was going in my truck doesn't have these 5 tabs (right).
So I'm looking for a manual flywheel for a single-mass clutch with these 5 tabs. I initially posted the above in the classifieds forum but the answers I got suggested that what I'm looking for may not exist. I'm posting here because it's become more of a technical question, I want to know if anyone's ever seen what I'm looking for and if you have some info that could help me find it. I've searched several models in the EPC but the drawings do not show the tabs even when I look at the automatic flywheel that was put in my truck at the factory! So this is useless and I don't have much to google for.
I am somewhat confident that it exists since Vadim who sold me the transmission has this very flywheel installed on his truck except its got 6 tabs. It may be that MB did it only for 6 cylinders but this seems unlikely no?
Here is another pic which shows different views of the automatic flywheel.
Thanks!
