In theory, it should bolt right on in. It's a lot easier if you still have the 4-cylinder donor car as a parts source for whatever differences there may/will be (pedal set-up, hoses, linkages, etc.).
I wouldn't worry about the flywheel/flex plate. Yes, the 5-cylinder unit is balanced for that engine, but, the differences seem to be minor, judging by reports of people who've put manual transmissions in 300Ds. It'll bolt on....

Hello;
Can the 240D that came from a W123 be used to replace a 300D in a W123 without any modifications? The 240D motor is sitting around gathering dust as is the 300D which has a bad head and Pappy got little bread. It is an automatic and the flywheel may prove to be the killjoy here.
