Hi folks, I have a 1980 300td (that is, non-turbo) with a trans that won't shift up from second gear. I can't find any external reason for it.

I happen to have a 1982 240d automatic parts car.

Can anyone advise me: can I use the 240d trans for the 300td?

I looked in the Nitske book and the gear ratios are identical, so I am wondering if it's actually the same transmission.

Thanks
