the two i dont know. the 300d turbo flywheel is 90cm in dia.
but the 240d & 300d is smaller and lighter. dont know that that
would be a problem.
the driveshaft should come from a turbo.
have been unable to locate a tx-18 new or used. they are
supposedly made in india by bajaj-tempo, an mb company,
but their web site is an email dead end. probably some other
car has used this tranny, but i havent yet found it.
if you can find he parts and have good hammers it should be
easy.

Both the TX-17 and TX-18 are of the same size and can be easily retrofitted to the OM616/617 engines and yes Bajaj Tempo India is still manufacturing both under license from ZF Germany. The TX-17 and TX-18 would roughly cost you $1100 new.
