But I agree. I just don't have the time or money to home-brew stuff for Mercedes without the community support the way I can with Volvo's. I sold a really really nice 300D years ago and sort of got away from Mercedes because at the time there were still not many people swapping in manual transmissions, and most swore you HAD to have that euro flywheel. I weighed the options, sold the 300D and bought a black 740 turbo wagon with a manual trans from the factory (that got the same MPG the 300D did btw, and was pretty quick).

BTW, 300 d manual for sale
Just thought of it as my daughter has a 1974 300D wagon that's pretty rusty but runs great and has a manual trans. It would be great for a conversion and have a spare motor....then trash what's leftover! It is located in Asheville, NC and parked for the winter as she drives a Subaru O/B in the winter months.

Heck I've gone so far as to consider putting the venerable redblock volvo 4 banger IN a Mercedes just to have it's manual trans options. It's such a rough little tractor motor though. This is what happens when you walk both sides of the tracks I suppose.
