Fitment questions
Does a Mercedes-Benz SL have a transfer box?
No — the Mercedes-Benz SL has never been available with four-wheel drive in any of its generations (R107, R129, R230, R231, R232), so it has never been fitted with a transfer box. The SL is a rear-wheel-drive-only grand tourer, meaning the drivetrain layout that requires a transfer box simply does not exist on this model. If you are searching for a transfer box, you may have the wrong model — you might be thinking of an ML, GL, GLE, G-Class, or another Mercedes-Benz with 4MATIC four-wheel drive.
I need a transfer box for my Mercedes SL — could it be listed under a different name?
Unfortunately there is no transfer box on any SL variant, regardless of generation or engine, because the SL has always been rear-wheel drive only and never received a 4MATIC or four-wheel-drive option. No equivalent or alternative name for this part applies to the SL. If your vehicle is definitely an SL, the part you actually need is more likely something in the rear-wheel-drive transmission path — such as a gearbox, propshaft, or differential — and a breaker can help identify the correct component against your registration.
My V5 shows a Mercedes SL but the garage mentioned a transfer box — what should I look for instead?
If your car is registered as a Mercedes-Benz SL, there is no transfer box to source, as the SL range has only ever been built in rear-wheel-drive form without a transfer box in any configuration. The garage may have used the term loosely, or there could be a misidentification — it is worth double-checking with them exactly which unit they are referring to. Depending on what they actually need to replace, the correct part is more likely a gearbox, automatic transmission unit, propshaft, or rear differential, all of which a UK breaker can quote on once you supply your registration or engine code.
Could a 4MATIC transfer box from an E-Class or GLE fit my SL?
No — because no SL was built with the mounting points, driveshaft outputs, or supporting hardware needed to accept a transfer box, fitting one from another Mercedes-Benz is not a straightforward swap and is not a recognised like-for-like replacement. The SL's drivetrain tunnel, subframe, and transmission tunnel are all designed around a two-wheel-drive layout. If you are looking to modify the SL to four-wheel drive, that falls well outside the scope of a standard used-parts replacement and would require specialist engineering advice rather than a breaker quotation.
