Heres what could work for you. Find your self a fairly nice manual 240D and sell your auto car, ...OR swap engines/trannys and sell the "fairly nice" 240D with the auto. That is if the auto car you have now is really exceptional, body, suspension, interior etc.., otherwise just look for a nice manual 240D
The older split case tranny will bolt right up, but the throw out bearing my be different.
