I was at the pick and pull junkyard today. There was an early 80's 240d with a standard transmission. Do you think it's worth pulling the transmission, pedals, hydraulics etc to keep to use as a conversion should the tranny go out in one of my 300d's.
How long do you think it would take to pull the tranny? It may be possible to pull the engine and tranny together but the car had been hit hard in the front so it might have to come out from below. Transmission would cost $67.

How hard is it to remove the pedals and hydaulics?
