Its a question for my coupe ,cant get her going and found a running turbo motor that purrs ,the whole car is cheap so my coupes getting the old switch around once i find out.

chasinthesun.

Just drop in the whole drive train, tranny and
motor.


Louis.

New report on the swap ,a ok but the trans wont go out of first ,Im sure I hooked everything up ,any advice what to do next.Motor and trannie out of an 84 300d into a 83 300cd.

The engine and tranny should be the same for 83-84. Have you tried unplugging the kickdown switch?

Ill try that ,thanks.The engine purrs like a kitten,wasnt so sure about the trannie though ,could this be a bad trans? Fluid is up to level .

Does the fluid have a burnt smell? Is the fluid it a nice healthy red or is it brown?
