Transmission is in and it's a pretty tight fit. I got the cooler lines hooked up and filled it with a pump since I don't have a dipstick yet. Cycled through the gears and everything seems to be good. Now it's just waiting for parts... apparently the shifter I had only fits the early 126, because I could have sworn I test fitted it in my 300. Ordered another one out of a W140, hoping for better luck...otherwise I guess I can fab an adapter plate.
