but, when I bought the car, the PO, said this is an engine from another 240d, and I am thinking that the other car was an auto, while mine is a 4 speed standard.

anyway the car runs, and when I take my foot off the 'gas' pedal, the engine slows down.

again, is this a critical part?

Junk says me, exactly the sort of picayune crap they installed on later models because somebody *****ed about pedal vibration, or maybe to accomodate crybabies who dont know how to feather the accelerator while shifting gears. No such silly dampener exists on earlier model '79. Without hesitation I'd pull it and throw it into the bushes, knowing the car will run fine without it.
