There is a "Local " Guy who has a 300td with a four speed right?? hows that setup? that would be my only turbo car atm and I guess I could part out the euro 240d once finished.

Thoughts on a turbo w123 wagon 5speed conversion?
the transmission crossmember is different, and the front section of the driveshaft is different... so, no, you won't be able to just pull the 4 and drop in the 5, but the procedure is the same.
