That is why I would love to convert mine to 5 spd; I assume that you did yours yourself. I have access to a parts car (190E 2.3) with a 5 spd, and can rob it of everything from the bell housing to the end of the driveshaft. I will be looking for a cheap used flywheel (I assume that the 2.3 gasser's is not the right one). I can get the shift assy and the pedal assy and whatever else I need. Should I change the rear end as well?
