Benz Experts,
Th clutch on the 77 240D was vaporized today by a new driver. I also think
the flywheel ring gear came off. I'm trying to figure out what to salvage.
Will the motor from the 77 240D manual install directly into my 73 220D
automatic?
Resolutely,
Bruce

With a nearly dry undercarriage, where else could it be going? Not rings,
valve guides, or seals. Could have been valve cover baffle, and might be
turbo seals. Is there any other place that can loose oil internally?
