Fast shifting and 0-60 times.
 
Im posting two videos of me shifting quickly in my 1981 240d (tranny is absolutely perfect. allthough i do need new shifter bushings) and my 0-60 time. it is insane how slow this 240d is.

Yikes!

That's painful to watch!

That's pretty much what a 350SDL will accelerate like if the ALDA doesn't get a signal from the intake manifold.

28 seconds.

With about 50 hp at the rear wheels and a 3300 lb. sedan, I don't see this as abnormal.

should do the trick in about twenty. I didn't watch the video, but a 240D isnt THAT slow. They make a good deal of torque.

lol! this is a 4 cyilnder 69 horse power beast i have under my hood. but the tranny shifts awesomely. i dont know what the PO did to it. (maybie rebuilt?) but it upshifts and downshifts beautifully. now if only i had an enigne i could do something with it.
