Hi kids! I have a 1980 300SD with 451,000 miles and going strong, but the rear end is getting loud. Anything tricky about a swap? Special tools?
I have a dead 1978 280SE W116 six-cylinder that I could use as a transplant, compatible?
How do the gear ratios compare?
Is there a tag on the boxes indicating ratio?
Do we have a table somewhere here listing ratios?
I would love to have limited slip, but is that especially hard to find in the ratio I need?
Any clues would be appreciated, thanks!
