Sooooo....If I pick up the 240D 4spd and a 300D say around 85(I know where
one is.) there is a way to combine the two? I assume the bolt pattern for
the bellhousing is the same between the two engines? Flywheel from the 240
will go on the 5cyl.? No balancing issues? I heard that each flywheel is
balanced to it's engine is this true?
Thanks, Mike

There's no reason not to put a manual transmission behind a 5 cyl turbo.
Especially if your doing a major engine shuffle like that!
There were discussions on the list back in 2001 - 2002 (when it was run by
Richard Sexton) about the subject. The best guess why Mercedes didn't do
it was that the load and rpm drop during a shift would cause the turbo to
slow down, causing a drop in power until it spooled back up. There is also
a possibility that the emissions were made worse by the combination.
