My '84 Euro non-turbo 5-speed 300TD has the 3.46 rear, but some PO replaced the original speedometer with the wrong unit - I suspect from a turbo model - so it now reads too fast. I got a speedometer in the Pick-N-Pull from an 84 Euro non-turbo automatic 300D. So hopefully, except for the shift-point hash-marks, the readings will be correct.

Happy Motoring, Mark

Correct.
