Back to work on the 4-speed manual conversion in my 300TD. Getting the shift rods cut, threaded, and tweaked to fit today. Got the trans bolted in without clutch or flywheel for sizing things up. 240d auto crossmember installed and looks perfect.
Got the overhauled and shortened driveshaft back from driveline service of N Atl, looks fantastic. New pilot bushings, center bearing, universal joint, balanced.
Next is to make pilot bushing.
