Hi,
I have an '85 W123 that was formerly a 280 fitted with an auto box. The engine has been replaced with a rebuilt 240D, running very sweetly on vegetable oil. The auto box has just expired its 'best by' date, which is a perfect time to replace it with a 5 speed manual box, giving me a totally bulletproof car for the next 200,000 miles.
I am locating the various parts needed and would welcome views and comments from anyone with any experience of this job and the range of suitable parts.
Thanks
