Fit Unimog 416 Transmission to MB Trac 1000
#4

Hello Holger

Thank you for your response.

The problems with trying to fix the transmission is that there is no service backup for the MB Tracs in South Africa. Mercedes Benz South Africa no longer offer backup for these vehicles either. So I would ultimately end up having to source the parts and import them which could prove quite costly.

I was actaully trying to find a cheaper alternative.

This specific Trac was bought to be restored and I have only now recently been able to fully assess what is all wrong with it.

The auxiliary gear lever jumps out of gear in stage 1 and stage 2 after selecting a gear o the main shift lever and attempting to move. It does not do this in reverse though. Also, when in stage 1 and the main shift lever is in neatral, the shift lever has a slight movement to it and it almost appears that there is a bent shaft or worn bearing in the transmission though. There is no abnormal noise from the transmission when in stage 1. In stage 2 and the main shift lever is in neutral, there is quite a bit more noise from the transmission.

Based on this I would believe that there is quite a substantial problem with the transmission and therfore possibly quite costly.

Our SA military used many Unimog 416's (OM 352) many years ago and there are therfore many of them still around and second hand parts are readilly available.

I was hoping that it would be possible to take one of those basic transmissions and just build over the other necessary parts onto it.

Would there be parts from this 416 transmission that could work on the track transmission i.e syncro's, shafts etc?

Regards,
Peter
