I just purchased a 5 speed trans from a 1985 280 to install behind my 300D turbo. (yes, it bolts up) I now have a 4 speed bolted up using a 240D flywheel/clutch. I am not sure I want to use the same arrangement with the 5 speed trans. I do have the clutch and flywheel from the donor 280, but it is much thinner and lighter than the diesel counterparts. I don't think the 300D turbo ever came with any kind of stick shift, but I know that the 300D non-turbo did. Does anyone know where to get a flywheel for a 300D non-turbo? Has anyone done this conversion before?
Thanks, Tim
