OK, I've done this convert to a few 300D's and hope it's no different with the TD.

Now the question is should I use the older cast iron/unit construct tranny in it, or the newer aluminum one? The cast iron one definitely has stouter synchro's, but if I sell the wagon, I don't want to lose the good tranny? Hmm.....
