btdaffe Member Date registered: Jan 2013 Location: North San Diego County Vehicle(s): 1980 LWB 300GD Posts: 17 | Need to find Front Ring/Pinion Set for 1980 460 G Having trouble finding a new / or good used ring and pinion set for my 1980 300GD. Parts guy tells me Mercedes does not have these now, but may have them again at some point. Any ideas for finding a new set or good used set? I need this to get my G back on the road. Thanks for any tips / help. Bellamy 1980 300GD | ||

I would reach out to them and ask about just the gear set. Maybe also check with Guido at Offroad World. 44/9 or 4.888 (4.9) is the most common 460 axle ratio. It would be worth checking on the Facebook 460/461 group as well (4.888.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 4.888.jpg (70KB - 0 downloads) | ||

So far I'm hitting dead ends. Hope someone has a good used set out there! | ||
