Differences - 1985 300D & 300SD trans
My Dear Benz Brethren,
What are the differences between 300D & 300SD transmissions? I'm buying a 1985 300SD parts car with a bad tranny - but it's maybe too good for a parts car. I have a 1985 300D parts car with a good tranny. I think that I've read that they're the same except for rear of the tranny (but I can't find the post - Argh! ). Can I make my 300D tranny into a 300SD tranny? Thanks! Joe Gottschlich Dayton, OH 1995 E420 (Beloved Spouse's car) 1982 300D (Daughter's) 1981 300SD (mine!) 1985 300D (parts) |

not sure....bu the 300D (W123) has a cable driven speedo, the 85 300SD (W126 has an electronic speedo...so the drive on the tranny is different but can possibly be swapped....but until others who know more about the specifics post that will give you a little something to go on. There are likely other issues I am not sure of.
