Hi all.

Old thread I know, but it doesn't seem right to start a new thread on this topic. Much better to just pick up where this one left off.

I too want to use a gasser's trans in an 87 300D. Reasons being:
1) The 89 and later 722.3 trans has a lower 1st gear ratio --- 3.87 vs. 3.68 --- more giddy-up out of the hole!
2) Where am I gonna find another trans for a 87 300D? (The later W124 300Ds only use the puny 722.4 trans.) I suppose a W126/W140 OM603 trans could work but, again, still too rare.

I realize that there will be WOT shift point issues to overcome. Anything else?

Is there anybody here who has actually done such a swap?

Any help is appreciated!
