I'm looking for the correct number for the throwout bearing for my 617. Not the Mercedes number as much as the bearing manufacturers number. The new one I bought is an SKF, but I can't read the number because the Mercedes part number tape covers it. Center hole is correct. The one that came out of the 240D is about a mm bigger than what the 617 will take. If no one can come up with the correct number then I shall have to hit the bearing companies Monday and see if I can find it.

What year is your 617? I think I have both bearings in my shop.

I should have put that in especially when switching engines into other chassis. The engine is a 617 turbo, model year is 1985. Mercedes part number for the 240D is 115 980 01 15 and there are some small numbers on the box which I think are manufacturer numbers. They are 152F, 829, 2WLH and 1812.
