5-speeds are quite rare. You can also fit, if you find it, a 5-speeder from a 280S or SE W126 or W116, or gasoline-powered W123 250 or 280. If existant, this sort of gearbox usually gets sold, along with all the stuff needed (e.g. the specific driveshaft, specific shifting lever and the connecting rods etc.) for 4 hundred euros.
Everything clear ?

Me neither... And actually I know that I'm given to the devil, but he didn't come to take me... Adica's dat dracu, da n-a venit sa ma ia...

This video is f***ing awesome. My god, how he manage to do his car like that???. The sound of the engine at the end of the clip is so f***ing great. Sound almost like an SLR :| and I'm not laughing. If you know something about him or his car, tell us tooo. That's so great.

P.S. And he didin't accelerate to the maxim of torque to do those donuts: AWESOME.
