83 300cd & 80 300sd
Hello~!
I have both cars and the 300SD needs a front end rebuild and the 83 needs a transmission..... The question is it a reasonable to think of swapping the transmission on the '80 to the 83? I can't do it myself but would an indie think it prudent? Thanks for you help! Ken |

I am pretty sure that swap will be OK to do, but it's a sin to condemn a W116 300SD. You might have some differences in modulation, but both trannies are basically the same. Your 300D probably won't start off in 1st like your 300SD did ( or should have) without bringing over all the electromechanical gear that makes the W116 downshift to first when it is at rest.
