As I have written here I have a 4spd from a 240 that I wanted to have put into my 82 300CD, (which BTW slips in 2nd and now will eventually need a rebuild, I am told.)

I got it fom Bruce K. and my ex- indie told me he would do the swap for around 500., so I purchased it with this in mind & budget.

When I got it my EX- Indie tells me he never said 500. He says 1,500

I have recently asked another very experienced shop that does these type of mods all the time, and he also said 1500 + possible other ancillary costs.

I do not have the room or experience mechanically to do it myself, so can anyone tell me if this 1,500 range is reasonable or high.......or low. for a good job.

Thanks,
AA
