When you hit 8 kids, everything slips away and you are left wondering where it all went.

Mark -
Thank you so much for your reply - that's good news.  I have a 'friend of a friend' who wants to buy my tranny & do the conversion.  Any idea of what the transmission should be worth?  It was removed from a car with just over 40k miles (the motor was used for a heart transplant) & has been sitting in a dry garage for almost 10 yrs - the dreams of converting my car to manual slipped away when we had our 2nd child three years ago...
 
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Yes, it is a bolt-up.  Be sure to get all the pedal parts.  Also be aware that the 5-cylinders are balanced differently than the 4-cylinders.  In theory, the 5-cylinder should be "zero-balanced" by a machine shop.  In practice, people who've done the manny conversion without doing the rebalance report no problems, so....

I'm curious if anyone might know if a manual transmission from a 1975 240D (115) would be compatible with a 300 d 5 cylinder motor.
