5 Spd for 80 300D in a 300CD
5 Spd for 80 300D in a 300CD
I have been reading all the threads in this section and there is allot of information but I am confused...you guys like the numbers and abreviations.
Can I get a few questions awnsered.
1. Is there a 5 spd Man Trans with OD that will bolt to a 83 300D
2. What do you do for the Pedal assembly? Conversion or buy erupean parts?
4. Has anyone actually accomplished this conversion if you have what did it take: parts and cost.
Thanks you guys, you know your MB stuff I will give you that

Quote:2. What do you do for the Pedal assembly? Conversion or buy erupean parts?Any pedal assembly from a 240D.
Quote:4. Has anyone actually accomplished this conversion if you have what did it take: parts and cost.Conversion is easy, same as doing a 4-speed but cutting the driveshaft a few inches shorter and using a different support crossmember.
