Will an automatic from an '82 240D work in an '85 300D car? I assume it will bolt up, but are they the same internally, or is the unit for the 300D more robust?
The reason, I have a friend with an '85 300 with about 500,000 miles and the tranny is beginning to slip. He may be buying my '82 240D as a parts car. There are already a number of parts that he can swap over to make it financally viable, but if the tranny would work, it would make it even better.
