Does a 1996 MB c280 transmission fit a 1995 MB c220 ? Thanx for answering my question
It depends on how fast it was going and if it hit anything, ie a curb. (if it has then you are talking possible twisted frame ,engine damage or forks etc that need expensive replacement). The problem is until you take it to bits you don't really know what is wrong. Look at the worst case and anything you don't have to replace the cheaper for you. If it was stationary then I have never had a serious mechanical issue but it can still cost a fortune to replace damaged faring , brake levers and indicators etc( some will only need changing for cosmetic reasons)
It's not good for them! That said, it's very common for you to drop your bike.it scratches the chrome, maybe breaks the mirror, dents the tank, bends the crash bars, etc. For street bikes, crash bars help limit the damages. Just make sure it's only been dropped not laid down in an accident. Anyone who states they've never dropped a bike is likely saving themselves for marriage too! You buying a street bike or off-road? Off-road bikes are dropped quite often.
The worst thing about dropping one is the chance of bending something and causing the bike to be off balance.If you bend a wheel or fork tube you run the risk of the bike not handling right and getting in a bad accident.Also if you drop the bike you may damage an engine case and crack it which can cause fluid leaks and damage vital internal parts.
Benzworld, or peachparts forums has merc owners discussing these topics.
although same transmissions. both cars have different engines, there will be a difference in the stall speed of the torque converters and working on these cars the Germans might have made a difference in the bell housing which means it might not bolt to the case. it might but the Germans don't think like the rest of us.
