The 80 240D and the 80 300D manual transmission should be the Iron Box with the bolt on Bell Housing. so that should be the same.

Did You happen to get the all aluminum one piece 4-spd by chance? that one was used in the 82 & 83 240D. not sure what the 81 had.
It could be the 300D had the one piece trans swaped in at some time.

I don`t know the lengths of the 2 trans. but found this measurement on another thread for the one piece. 16 3/4".

The 240D front section of the DL is 24" as per that thread.


I have both types of transmissions and a front piece of the DL. I can measure them tomarrow.

I don`t know the difference between the auto DL and the Manual DL front section length for the 240. the automatic is a longer transmission than the manual transmission. could be you used the wrong DL?
