Living in the rust bucket where good old 300's pop up often as parts cars cheap with great drivetrains it kills me to see this happen. I'm sure the same thing happens when someone who lives in the Southern states where rust free cars are the norm watches one of us restore a rust heap.

Anyways, I've got a 1985 complete drivetrain that I just pulled out of my 300TD in my garage. I doubt you'll need this, but if you need pictures or if I can help somehow with my components as reference, just let me know.
Best of luck!
Dave
