Just any old 124 driveshaft would not work. It would have to be from a manual transmission car. Your best bet would be to have one custom built.

That's what I meant to say, I should have been more specific.

You cannot put a pilot bearing/bushing in the flywheel. The hole in the center is much too large. If the automatic 103 crankshaft is similar to the diesels I've seen, it does not have a pilot bearing. You will have to custom machine this item.

My experience w/ the 2.6 m103 in a w201 was that there are 2 different types of pilot bearings. The "older" version fit into the rear of the crankshaft (needs 2 of 'em). The "newer" version fit into the flywheel, and yes, it's a larger diameter than the one that fits in the crankshaft. My engine didn't have one originally b/c the shaft of the automatic has a larger diameter than the shaft of the manual.
