hello,<br> I want to purchase a W123 1977 230, but the car has an auto transmission. I'm wondering what manual transmissions will also fit (ie: late W114/5, since i found one at a wrecking yard). If anyone has any information on what transmission fit what engines, that would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Medly,<br> <br> You might want to go to www.mercedesshop.com (Shop Forum)and check on some of the threads that I've posted there on just this subject. Can't remember whether I posted it on Diesel Discussion or one of the other forum. While I haven't done a 230, I have done 240D, 300D and 300Turbo Diesels and I know the manual transmissions from the 280E fits all the 123 diesels. A flywheel for your 230 is the biggest problem. Hope this helps.<br> <br> Ben

    How did I come to be the owner of this 1985 300CD? Having owned a W201, 2 W124s and a W126 300SD I had read and heard so much about the W123 cars that I knew this would be the next Benz for me. I knew right from the start that it would have to be the coupe body style. I wanted something a bit...
