is W123 5 speed cross member specific to the 5 speed?

I thought there was an interchange with a 300D Auto for this cross member but Im not finding it. looks like the one in the bottom picture. can anyone verify the part number is A 123 242 28 01? WRONG the number should be A 123 242 26 01

thats for a 4 speed, the 5 speed trans is quite a bit longer. I have a 4 speed in mine now with the 240 auto cross member and it is different than the one pictured.

there was a wagon outside the PNP today, I peeked underneath and it looks like the 300TD is the same mount. anyone got one for sale or that they can snap a picture of?

It is almost certainly the same part from the looks of it. Check the 4spd conversion threads I remember a picture of one being used backwards.

Im researching this through the EPC. it looks like there is a later 300D/TD auto one, like 83-85 that has that same shape, but it is a different part number.

I believe it is the one in my first post. I wish I remembered what thread I pulled that pic from it is part number A1232422801 rather than A1232422601 which is the 300D/TD 5spd

I figured it out, I ordered the wrong part damnit. I edited and added the correct number in the first post to correct it.

OK so I call MB with the correct part number and they refuse to sell it to me. They have them in stock in Germany but since I dont have a valid registration of a car that uses that part I cant order it here.

Does anyone have a registered 5speed that I can send money to so you can order this part for me from MB? Its only a $50 part

likely, you'd only need the vin from someone with the car...
