As usual, you guys make a great point, I remember when I got my first 300D and it shifted rough. I thought for sure I was going to have to have it rebuilt, until I got smart and found the loose vaccum hose. The last standard shift vehicle I had was a Ford Explorer (AKA: POS) so I assumed the wost.
Anyway, if you can find any more info about that clutch tool I would love to see it, and it would be good for the archives of this forum too, regardless of if I buy the car or not.
But thanks for the input on time and pricing too.
BTW, I have a spare 617 from an 83 300SD and was thinking that this 240 may be a great home for it, especially with 340k on the 4 cyl NA motor. Are there any performance transmission parts out there designed for the extra power that the 5 cyl would produce?
