Hi I run an early 110 with a conversion to Mazda 3.5 SL. I'm trying to find out what model of Mercedes 4 speed automatic gearbox is fitted. I think its a ZF but not really sure. Can anyone help? thanks Mark

Probably not much help but think merc fit their own gearboxes.

not many clairvoyants on this forum , try getting some numbers off the box that will be likely to get you the info you are after

Surely it's either a ZF box or a Mercedes one? Or have I missed one company being part of the other?

Usually Mazda SL conversions are Rover V8 fitment, in other words they fit to V8 gearboxes - for example the automatic ZF units or the manual LT85/LT77/R380.

If you can get a clear picture of the box someone will probably be able to identify it from the shape or casting detail.
