Not sure how'd you work a 4,6,9 shift? The working RPM range of a
American style big Diesel is ~1400-2100, every gear in a crash box is
about 500rpm, so skipping from 6 to 9 would mean you either rev the guts
out of the engine or lug it up from about 800rpm, neither of which is
good practice.

You just need to find a broken MGB (shouldn't be too hard). ;)
This would fit right in with that cool old Becker in your 300D's dash:

That could be explained by gearing.
The correct rear end is critical.

The turbo will spool down as soon as the fuel feed is reduced.
But as soon as the driver steps on the "go" pedal it will spool
up again.

Is your 300D a turbo?
If so, do you have problems up-shifting and having the turbo spool down
during shifts?

Yeah, I guess thats the ticket... recently I've seen two 190E parts cars

I've got no place to part a car at the moment.

Oops, a 240D diff is 3.69:1, not 3.49.
I have one of those sitting in the trunk of the 300SD BTW.
The 240D trans ratios were:
I: 3.90; II: 2.30; III: 1.41; IV: 1.0, so the T5 I quoted below would be a
little lower, plus a decent overdrive in case you want to cruise 75mph instead
of 55mph on th

Its a nice idea, but a 0.62-0.50 overdrive will be nearly useless, and the
first gear is a bit tall overall. A mild overdrive would be useful on top
of the normal 4 speed's 1:1 top gear. Otherwise, I don't see the point
really.
