Hi...I was wondering if that 240D you recently sold had the 5cyl turbo in it. And if it does, I am wondering if you could outline whats involved in the conversion. Stuff like moving the tranny, driveshaft length and whether another one will fit, shift linkage hookup, stuff like that.

Thanks

it did indeed have the 617.95x turbo diesel in it.
The tranny bolts right up. The crank snout already has a hole for the pilot bearing. Clutch from a 240D bolts in as do the release arm, and all the clutch hydraulics. Even the brake reservoir has a tap for the clutch fluid. The flywheel bolts in, no need to rebalance , its been 30 kmi of hard driving and no problems.

The driveshaft needs to be shortened. The linkages need to be cut and re-splined exactly 4" each (there are 3 of them)
The tranny mount and cross member bolt into holes already present in the framerails.
Anything else you need just email me for details.
