Interesting...so if push came to shove and someone really wanted to try and narrow down the causes of a vibration they could order one.
I will point out that the W123 300TD turbo wagon was apparently available in europe with a 5 speed manual since it is shown on the EPC that way. Some people here doubted that Mercedes ever mated the OM617 turbo to a manual for "technical reasons" but this would tend to dispute those claims
The one I recently bought on ebay which is a 4 speed conversion is on its way here now so when it arrives I will report my impressions of it. The PO stated he only has vibrations if he lugs it but that would be true of just about any car. I am not sure if the PO knows what kind of FW was used as he had the work done by a local shop but I would assume it was done with a 240D 616 flywheel.
