A brief introduction to a series of videos documenting repairs to my then new (to me) 1981 Mercedes-Benz 240D. Videos were taken in 2008. Completed the car summer 2008 and drove it until April 2009, when I sold it.

@blac2thafuture First off - love the username. Are you sure your transmission is bad? If it's just shifing weird, it may be a vacuum problem. If it is indeed bad, no, you can't use one from a 300D. You actually do need a transmission from a 240D. I don't know if they're different internally, but bare minimum, the vacuum modulators are different.
