Reconditioned Mercedes Sprinter 3.0 CDI Gearbox – 6-Speed Manual – Ref. 711685

Reconditioned Mercedes Sprinter 3.0 CDI Gearbox – Reference 711685

This reconditioned gearbox is designed for the Mercedes Sprinter fitted with the 3.0 CDI engine (engine capacity 2987 cm³, engine codes OM642, OM642.896, OM642.993), reference 711685. It matches the 6-speed manual gearbox fitted as standard to this van and replaces a unit worn by intensive use, particularly on the long distances typical of this type of commercial vehicle. The reference 711685 precisely identifies the version fitted to this model.

Signs That Your Gearbox Needs Replacing

Several warning signs should alert the driver of a Sprinter 3.0 CDI: stiff or crunching gear changes, vibrations felt through the gear lever, difficulty engaging certain gears when cold, metallic noise while driving, a jumping neutral, or an oil leak at the casing. These symptoms most commonly indicate internal wear of the gears or synchromesh rings and require prompt replacement to avoid more serious transmission damage.

Gearbox Reconditioning

Every reconditioned gearbox is fully stripped down, cleaned and inspected component by component. Gears, synchromesh rings, bearings and seals showing signs of wear are systematically replaced. The gearbox is then reassembled to manufacturer tolerances and bench-tested before dispatch, ensuring performance equivalent to that of an original part.

Exchange Basis: Your Garage Is Never Left Standing

This gearbox, reference 711685, is sold on an exchange basis: the reconditioned unit is sent out first, allowing the garage to carry out the fitting immediately without any wait. The old gearbox, with its casing intact, is only collected once the reconditioned unit has been delivered and installed, so the vehicle is never left off the road. Return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

Compatibility

This gearbox is compatible with the OM642 (OM642.896, OM642.993) engines fitted to the Mercedes Sprinter 3.0 CDI, for reference 711685.
