I am assuming that you took the ring and pinion from a 240D and put them into 16V housing, and that it is different from a 123 (240D) housing. My customer wants to eventually put an overdrive automatic trans, (he has a prosthetic left leg), so he wants to keep the 3.08 gears, (i think 3.08), until the trans swap.

If the housing you have built will directly mate to a 123 chassis, will the 3.08 or 2.88 gears fit?

If all that is good, how much do you want for it?
We took the 123 housing and installed the LS spider into it and a spacer to use the 369 ring and pinion from the 123. it has new friction discs throughout and will bolt into any 123 chassis. We could retrofit the original gears from the 190e 16v diff which are either 327 or 333 ratio I believe.
