The engine and transmission swap is complete! I am happy with the upgrade. I
replaced the 240D drive train with a used engine, transmission and rear end out
of an 84 300D. I have been driving it the last few days and I am happy with
added power and higher speed drivability.
I still have to figure out the cruise control connections.
Question -Does any one know where the sensor is located on the 84 300D and how
to hook into the 83 240D chassis. It appears there are two sensors on the 300D,
one near the back of the engine and another on the front behind the fan. Which
one do I use?
