Well, you guys didn't make my decision any easier! I really value everyone's opinion, what to do…what to do? So, I think I found a 1980 300sd with a good auto tranny. Can anyone tell me if this tranny will work for my 82 240d project? After much consideration, I think I might just keep the manual for another project.
