I am buying a 1984 300CD with bad tranny. Buying a used one without seeing the car and need to know if a 1984 300CD has a elec speedo or mechanical speedo. also I thought I read somewhere that you can change the output of either tranny with one in other to make it elec or machanical.

Thanks. Jay

it should be mechanical. the only 123 chassis mb produced with the electronic speedo was the 81 wagon.
but yes, you can swap the shaft cover, and the pickup for mechanical and vise versa.
