Mercedes gearbox type
Mercedes gearbox type
Hi,
Bought a 92 Merc OH1418, with 6 spd manual last December, to convert to a motorhome.
The box takes some getting used to, as it's more suited to a European LHD.
R 2 4 6
N
1 3 5
Anyone know what box is used in these German built chassis, Custom Coaches bodied machines?
Cheers.

Re: Mercedes gearbox type
Looks like a truck gearbox turned around the other way for the rear engine application, but they haven't adapted the linkages.

Re: Mercedes gearbox type
Guy, yes, it's a straight Merc engine (OH1418 with an OM366A engine (180hp)) with a six speed manual gearbox.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Mercedes gearbox type
I CHECKED MY RECORDS I FOUND THAT THE OM 366A MOTOR IS A O404 MERCEDES MOTOR SO IF YOUR OH1418 IT HAS HAD A ENGINE CHANGES AND THE O404 SHOULD HAVE A 5 SPEED GEARBOX SO I DO NOT KNOW IF YOURS HAS A SIX SPEED IT MAY HAVE TROUBLE IN GEAR CHANGE SORRY BUT I I MAY NOT HELP I HAVE ZF TYPES OF 5 AND SIX SPEED MANUALS
NEED SOME ONE LOCAL TO SEE WHAT IS MARKED ON YOUR GEARBOX

Re: Mercedes gearbox type
Guy, the bus model, OH1418, always had the OM366 engine installed, an underpowered 180HP. The 1418 came out with both the 5 and 6 speed boxes.
The O303, O404, etc had different engines.
I'll see if can find the gearbox manual elsewhere.
Thanks.
