Warning: The transmissions look the same but this is not a direct swap. There is one significant difference that must be addressed. Kent will go over the differences and explain what you can do about it in order to do a successful swap.

Hello i have swapped engine in my w126 280se (M110) to (w123) M110 can i do the same here? Its like the reverse you. And also the contacts on the side of the gearbox are different
You will need more than just a transmission. Best to have a parts car available to guarantee you will get everything. Bell-housing, flywheel, mounting plate, transmission, driveshaft, sedan assembly, etc.
Hi Kent, Just acquired a 73 w114 280. With 722.1 transmission ?. Just wondering can I replace/install a transmission from a 1988 560sl? If so what are the difference. It’s running now but it needs engine & bodywork so I’ll be ordering parts from you once I figure out what I need. Thanks.
As they say, "anything is possible" but it will not fit without machining and extension modifications that could cost hundreds of dollars and hours and hours of time. I would never consider it. Just find a good used W114 automatic that you can bolt right in.. Just my humble opinion of course
