+1 on internal seals. Expect to find burnt clutches and/or bands if the car has been driven like this any significant time.

Not 100% sure about the diesel 116, but I have removed the transmission on the 450SEL by itself leaving the engine in the car. If anything I would think the diesel would be even easier in this regard. Of course I had the advantage of using a lift when I did this. You'll just need to use long extensions to get to the topmost bolts with the rear of the transmission lowered.
