I got a manual tranny from an early 240d to eventually do a conversion on my 300TDT. I found that the input shaft bearing on the manual tranny was a bit loose so I decided to take it out and replace it, pretty simple task. However I can't seem to find a new bearing. Does anyone know if the "case bearing" sold on FastLane is the one I need; it does not specify if its for a manual or auto and its hard for me to believe that they would be the same.

the old bearing is a SKF 361727d

1977 240D
part=Transmission Case Bearing

.

You need to be a little more specific on what year the trans comes from.

Is the case cast iron or aluminum?

Being more specific: it is the iron 3 piece type transmission (see attached picture, stolen from the manual conversion thread) used in the earlier W123 240d and the european 300d . I think its is the 716.005 type. The bearing is right at the input shaft. Unfortunatley I dont know what car it origianlly came from.
