what would be a decent price to pay for all the convertion parts? trans flywheel drive peddles, the whole 9 yards?

I bought a complete 240D for $600, sold the engine cheap to a buddy and the carcass to PnP for (IIRC) $175. So I have about $300 or so in mine. No idea if that's a good deal or not but it gives you EVERYTHING you'll need including shifter, rods, etc. My next job is installing the shifter and sorting out the rods.

I'm using the S-10 master cylinder so I'm no help on the hydraulic part of it. I have the 300SD and 240D driveshafts free for the taking - if you'll take 'em. No idea of their condition other than they are intact.

Pulling the parts from PNP probably 3 - $400.00.

Sachs Clutch Disk $150
Pressure plate around $90
Pilot Bearing, seen this bearing from $1.50 - $9.00
MC $60.00
Release bearing, $40 - $50
Slave $40
Clutch Line $75 if you need one and can`t salvage it.
Clips on Shift Rods $4 X 6. You might be able to salvage the used ones.

Then you still have to match balance the FW and maybe resurface it. there is $100
The Driveline will have to be shortened, welded and balanced


That`s a ball Park figure.

To do a swap you are looking at a healthy $1000.00. have a shop do it and the cost go`s up.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

I bought my clutch kit from a prominent on-line parts source and it was less than that (about $285) - also turned out to be a Sachs. That had the disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, and alignment tool (which fit a bit too tight on the clutch splines). I know the guys at our local AAMCO shop and they turned the flywheel for free - I did have them rebuild my trans in the Dodge Diesel truck to the tune of $3K so maybe that was a customer "thank you".

When you have the flywheel turned be sure the shop knows about stepped flywheels. The pressure plate (also called a "clutch cover" in some parts of the country) bolts to a recess in the flywheel and that recess has to be turned down the same amount as the clutch surface or the clutch won't travel properly. Most pressure plates bolt to the same surface as the clutch surface so that's not an issue but it matters on the Benz. BTW - lots of heavy equipment (tractors, etc.) are made like this so if your local machine shop can't handle it go to your farm equipment dealer.
