[W126 Coupe] Manual for 560SEC's

[Shayegan, Richard]

While I don't have an SEC (or money), if I did have those things (heck
even if I just had money and had already put my plan into action on my
380) I would love a 5 spd (6 if the 6th was strictly a cruising gear,
i.e. 1st and 2nd weren't ridiculously short to account for all 6 gears)
and my cut off would be 8 grand.

Just wanted to get a feeling as to the lists thoughts regarding a manual
for their 560SEC. 
I've been chatting w/ some engineer/machinist/parts supplier/trans am
crew chief friends  and am thinking of moving ahead on putting together
a kit to install a 6 or 5 spd manual in our cars...  

Or, if people like we'll install it as well.  

I plan on using as many Genuine Mercedes parts as possible, but am
looking to a tremec or Jericho 5 spd...maybe a Gm 6 spd if I can find
one w/ suitable ratios.


Before we dive into this I'd like to get a feel to interest and what
people's cut off for cost might be..as well as any other words of
wisdom.

Jonathan
