Well be sure you get the whole system, best gotten as in a complete parts car. You need everything for the swap. Not just the transmission. You need all the clutch and flywheel parts, hydraulic parts, you need the shift rods and the shifter, (The shifter box that mounts to the bottom of the floor. And always a few more bits. That is why if you have the complete car it really helps. A gas engine or diesel engine car does not really matter, both will work, though the flywheel is engine specific. The 190 does have a somewhat different style and more expensive clutch. If you do buy a parts car and there are a few available after hurricane Sandy, I would stay away from a "flood" damage parts car.
