Dang, I had a 5 speed that would have bolted up (out of a W123). I was going to put it in my 300SD but I decided to sell it because I love the ease of the automatic. Actually, I know where a nice 5 speed is for sale in Germany if you've got $1,000 and money for shipping. I think the same guy even has a W116 clutch pedal set.

Does he have the shifter and the rods? Could he estimate shipping cost to the US? And I've only seen a few 5 spds for the W123 for sale. Usually a guy in the North East States. I think $1700 for the setup. Some people luck into them at a reasonable price.
