Congratulations on nearly finishing the job! I had done this to my 1983 300TD with a 4 speed I got out of a 240D. Once it was in turned out the trans had a bad bearing! But I picked up a 5 speed from a forum member and man it's fantastic! Trust me you will love your wagon even more when it starts driving!

Bleeding the clutch is a PITA! I tried several different methods with my mityvac and then finally with an oil can pushing the fluid up through the slave. There is a method of hooking a hose to the right front caliper and the back of the slave. It probably works well but be careful the hoses can pop off easily.

My conversion had parts from several cars and it turned out I had the wrong pushrod on my master cylinder. There is a white and black pushrod and one is longer than the other, I couldn't shift because the rod wasn't long enough...if you have a bunch of problems and you installed a new master maybe it's the wrong pushrod like what happened to me.
