Soon to be unique 300CD
The last stick shift I owned was a '77 VW Dasher, but
Thanks to Bruce K. & "Wannawagon"....and some guy named Rolf in Germany in a couple of weeks I will have completed the transformation of my White 1982 300CD turbodiesel to a 4 speed manual transmission; with 15" ronals ; & French style Euro headlights.... Yee haaa pic's will follow !! ..

I'm guesing the 4 speed came out of a 240D or 220D (w123)

It comes out of a 240D that ran out of oil in the engine... Check R Leo threads for how to do the step by step. AA

I am interested to find out how the 4 spd will do behind the turbo.
I was under the impression that was not a good combo......

Its an easy conversion. Assuming you have 300D drive shaft linkage and tran crossmember. Nothing that cant be shortened or fabricated otherwise. I dont suggest a 2.88 rear end with manual. Other than that its ok. 0-60 is probably a bit slower depending on your syncros. The things you can do that you can't do in an automatic far outweigh the negatives. You may want a double plate clutch if you are running > stock power...

winmutt, why do you not recommend a 2.88 diff, cause that is what i have and i was hoping to do a 4 speed conversion also.

Can I do a four or a five speed conversion, on my 82 280 CE Euro..?
If I can locate the parts, I'll jump right into the job. I just have a feeling they will not be very easily acquired...
