Well I pulled the transmission on my 82 240D parts car, I think i'll be going with the 79 trans I have. They are identical, but the 79 looks in better shape. The 82 was filled with crud inside! The mileage on them are nearly identical.

Your linkage swap looks great Charlie. That makes sense that you can eliminate any slop with the adjustable linkage. Cleans up nice too... I'll have to hunt around for a set.

Now with auto removed and a manual removal under my belt, I have a question about the swap. There's two wiring hookups on the auto that weren't on the manual (see attached pic). What happens to them when I put the manual in?

Time to start ordering parts...
