yet another Trans I.D. thread

[scotty b]

Yes, I know the intake is a clearance issue. I'm not too concerned about that since metal work is what I do for living I'll take some pics of the trans and post later tonight. I have the whole pedal cluster, master cylinder, shift mechanism from the car the trans was in. A friend of mine that worked on diesel Benz's pulled it several years ago and put it in storage " just in case " He is fairly certain it was a gas car, but isn't positive, hence my concern about gear ratios. FWIW it is an Al. case which if I understand correctly was only in the gas cars ? I also have the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate from that car, but will most likely buy a new setup for the '84 engine. It has a larger I.D. flywheel that has already been balanced to the crank, so I would assume it uses a larger clutch and pressure plate as well ??
