i bought the manual tranny to do this swap, one out of a 77
240d with according to the po about 100k miles. its a 3 piece
setup; bell housing, 4spd transmission, and the rear union.
it came with the 3 connecting rods, slave cylinder and hose/pipe,
and gear shift/bracket, muffler mount, throwout bearing and the clutch lever, 2-bolt tranny bracket. i took a master cylinder, clutch pedal, return clutch spring out of a doner.

what i need: pin that holds the clutch and brake pedals to
the bracket, metal pipe and connectors that run from the
master cylinder to the slave cylinder, plastic hose and
joint that runs fron the master cylinder to the brake resovoir,
a new throwout bearing, a pilot bearing, clutch and pressure
plate, flywheel, 12- star bolts to the flywheel, tranny rubber
mount, grease, locktite, new bolts, new bushings.
not sure of the back up light setup.

havent found the car yet. almost bought one and a parts
car today, but the guy tried to cheat me on the title and registration. depending on what i get, might need a different
brake pedal, and if the car is old enough, a different brake
resovoir with the clutch nipple.

will probably do the job by dropping the subframe, lifting
the body instead for pulling the engine. (will not again
pull a tranny with the engine in) this way it will be easy to change
all the underbody rubber, replace bad engine gaskets, do
the brakes, etc.

would like to do this with a w115 using a 300turbo. will possibly
require movement of the oil filter and fabrication of a fitting
and bracket, a different or hammered oil pan, modify the
wheel well if the turbo is in the way and realine the exhaust
flex pipe.

what the project will really require i havent a clue, but if i dont
rush, keep my head and dont cheap out, it will turn out
fine. this has been my experience when going into the
unknown.
