TomJ posted this on another thread:

"Use the conn/harness from the auto trans (conns at center console low on drivers side) and re-solder for a clutch safety switch (I used a brake light switch from the same vehicle for the clutch) and wire that to the neutral safety. The back-up switch will mount in the bracket on the manual shifter assy . . ."

I drove the car for the first time today. The brakes / clutch are not bled so I couldn't shift it while running, but I started and ran it in first gear

Some problems I also realized and could use some tech advise with:

Leaking oil from rear main seal (should have started it on an engine stand first)

Pedal assembly from the 84 240D places the pedals in odd places (too close to the gas pedal) - gonna use a pedal assembly from a w115 240D and install a new clutch master cylinder with that

Thanks - B

Engine has to come out to fix.

Ouch.
Won't say anything it rub it in. I'd feed it oil and run it in, generate a list of 'while you're in there's'. Pulling it a 3rd time for something else would just suck.

Bite the bullet and do it. Nothing more shameful than leaving puddles where you park...
