OM606 WHICH TRANSMISSION?

Here are my current transmission recommendations for the OM606 Engine based on vehicle and power goals

Me (an American) looking at my turbo 400 trans that costs me a ham sandwich and a cherry ICEE from 7 Eleven and telling myself I don’t need another project lol

You guys make me want an old merc diesel 😂

[rabbits]

Love the fact you say the controllers don't work that well. I heard similar from one other guy in conversation and whenever I asked the question online the internet gets angry.

I bought Mercedes c300 d. For om606 engine, watching your videos. I am loving it already, even tough it needs lot of work. Keep up the good work.

this yellow paint on engine makes it look beast heavy duty caterpillar machine 😳

Thanks for posting such amazing transmission choice content.
It's very good to hear from personal experiences, not internet stories. Some of your best factory choices are impossible to find, here in Canada. Thankfully, some of your top autos easier to come by. :)

On the automatic trans e control you can use a drive by wire pedal that will provide one of the signal needed, a rpm signal tru generator can be used. The other is a vehicle speed, and that is all you need

Love this video. I want to om606 swap everything and your videos are so helpful!

[jackspaniels]

That was a good video and it confirms for me that using the 722.6 is the best option, thank you

[FiglioBastardo]

Hell yeah thanks for this video and examples for the actual set ups. My buddy and I can't wait to get our hands on one of those 606s and put it in an American classic!
Love your channel (#nobrohomo) and keep up the killer work!

So for a manual, a T56 six speed is a great overall choice. Great.

If one is going 5 speed, Tremec recently released the TKX, which is like a swap friendly version of the TKO.

I haven't checked in a long time, but I know of an old Dodge truck in need of a rescue. The OM606 is a great diesel option when the Cummins 2.8R is too small, but a 6BT is too heavy.

The OM606 is E300 CDI rare where I live, though, so getting any version of the engine would be pricey.

But one can dream, no?

Came here partially because of Team Boosted with their diesel powered Z-car.

cant wait for a video with a om648/om613 and using the 37dz adapter plate u guys just made!
Thinking of putting it on a 190e with a om648 😃

[aloevera]

I’d vote for you for PM.
You know your stuff and you’re honest!
… and entertaining!

[derekkemp]

Enjoyed the video as usual. I wondered if there was a transaxle that would suit the 606 in 400-500 hp .just mulling over some ideas.
Loving the channel 👍

Haven't got any notification of your uploads in ages, even with the bell on.

[toddrocks]

Following you guys over here in the States. Really want to do an om606 85 f150 swap

[montycrain]

You might consider a GM TH200, slightly larger than a TH 350 and used in Buick Grand Nationals Turbo V-6. among others. Close ratio 4 speed with .67 overdrive, no electronic, fully hydraulic trans. Art Carr at CPT can build them all the way up to 1000hp level but for the 400hp level only minor mods needed. Millions made during the 80s and 90s here in the US. By the way have you ever considered a compound Turbo. Quick Spool but very high boost is possible. A very popular and pretty common upgrade on Cummins Diesels here.

Cool thanks for sharing your experiences 👍

[deancorlett]

Great informative video dude. Cheers. Would love to put one of these wee engines in my 80 series landcruiser

You can get a standalone controller for the 722.6, I have one in a box still from PCS with the whole pigtail and the gearbox connector or use OFGear controller. Never got around to putting a 722.6 in my W124 before I sold it, but that means I have a spare for my w211 with the OM648 in it.
