Hi everyone
-Simple question: Can i get a 5 manual transmission for a 300 D motor (the 617 engines)in north america or do i have to get one from europe?

Is there another model (190D, 300SD etc) from a different year that has a 5 speed transmission that will bolt onto the the 617motor?

Has anyone out there in diesel land driven a early to mid 80s 300 diesels with a 5 speed and how is it on the highway? Does it cruise at say 120 with super low RPMs???

thanks!
