230d question
 

hey all! This is my first post here. I'm new to mb and SLIGHTLY new to diesel. I'm coming over from vw to try something new.
I have a line on a 78 230d 4 speed. Just curious as to what I should look out for. How were the 4 cylinder diesel engines? I've heard the mb manual transmissions are are garbage... That was from another vw guy.

Any and all info is greatly appreciated!
