Hello,

I sadly have to replace my trusty 1980 240d's 4-speed transmission (bad bearings!) . A rebuild is going to run more than i can afford, so I am desperately searching for any pulled transmissions... I am having a hard time locating anyone who has a 4-speed manual transmission- it appears they arent as popular as the automatics.. If you or anyone you know might possibly have one, please holler and e-mail me or post a reply.. I'd be in you debt!

Graciously,

Miles
1980 silver 240d (4-spd)

I have an '80 Euro as a parts car. There was an early and a late manual transmission. Although you can interchange them properly with the correct engine adapter and a few other parts, you would be much better off using the EXACT same transmission.

I would have to examine it and my '84 Euro to know how to describe what to look for in order to determine if this transmission is the same as yours. If memory serves me correctly, I think you can tell by looking at the sidecover.

The real problem for you will probably be that I am very hesitant to part with this transmission unless I can get a late one in its place, or a LOT of money for it. When I put my '84 back on the road, I would like to have a backup on hand in spite of the fact that I've never had to replace or disassemble an MB manual transmission.

Have a great day,

Hello Miles,
Give me a call next week with your vehicle info and I"m sure I can locate a good used transmission for you

Thank you
Phil
