The gas engine flywheel is far lighter. Transmission is the same.
I did get the pedals and shifter. Will have a friend get me the driveshaft. Next time I go there, if the transmission is still there I may do some deciding. I do know I want the flywheel.

Thanks for the info! I wish I had someone's number while I was there. Now, I think I want that flywheel. About the transmission, even though it was a 1970 W115 4 cylinder gas engine (220?), its transmission had an aluminum housing. Based on your post about when each transmission was used, http://www.superturbodiesel.com/std/manu...ml#pid4151, does that mean it perhaps was replaced during its life?

I am sorry for daring to consider the body of the transmission I saw to be aluminum instead of cast iron. As my signature indicates, I am not here to disagree with those with higher rank than me. So, I do apologize once again for being so dense.
