Now I realize they never made a manual for a 300 in the US (only in Europe) but is it possible to put a 4 speed from a 240D manual and somehow get all the parts needed to do this project? Or is it even more possible to get a tranny from GM or something like a TH350M or TH400M and is there somewhere that would have a bellhousing that would match up to both tranny and my diesel powerhorse?

 

wow, theres accually someone other than me wandering this...

I too want to put a manual transmission under my 300D.
I'm keeping an eye on ebay for a manual transmission for a 76 300D, but i should probly be looking for the part number, which i could look up.
anyways, my ebay name is yannifan101, so please keep that in mind

I suggest you to get a Factory Mercedes Manual.

It has all service and maintenance instructions, step by step.

A great help, hope this will help you.

sorry but i allready have a manual for my car, and 80$ seems a bit steep for a manual (sorry, i know your trying to sell that, and good luck to you)

jeeper, i wish you luck on finding a transmission,
