I have entertained the swap , as I have some posts in the past about 0 to 60 speed, I am trying in the next week or two to get the most out of it because its running slower than normal, whatever normal is. I wonder what a almost perfect running adusted 240d auto will do when they were new ? or maybe a low milage one would perform ? I am always on the lookout for the manual , I have seen a few in the last couple of months , but I have a lot of cosmetic and mechanical parts into my car by now . But if I find the right one it will be byebye auto trans. The car will cruise all day at highway speed but forget about any sort of hills . Mostly I think it needs a little engine power trouble shooting.
