Do you absolutely HAVE to use the 300D flywheel, or is that just what they use since they have them?

How about a Volvo trans?

Also, where are you seeing the prices listed? I must be overlooking them.

I suppose a 240D, or any one for that matter, will do, the shop told me to use my old one.

it is possible to do that converting on nearly all other earlier models before 124 models, even the diesels: MB180,190,200,220,230,250,280 and 300.

I mailed them. They've got great response time.

You said that price excludes tax? Thankfully we don't have to pay the 25% VAT in the US, but in general when shipping items from Sweden to the US the amount VAT would add ends up being what it costs to air freight things to us.
Cheapest way to get them here is to do a group buy of them and have them pack everything onto a pallet and send it sea freight. Then someone in the US just unpacks the pallet and sends the plates across the US. I've been involved in several group buys from Sweden that worked this way much much cheaper than airmail.


I'd look elsewhere. We Volvo drivers have a habit of shredding the Volvo M46 and M47 5-speeds with stock power (torque really). Adapterplates are popular for fitting the T5 (Ford and GM) and the Getrag (BMW) to the Volvo motors.
