Those boxes are fairly light and pulling them out of a 123 is relatively
easy, compared to a 201.
If you are reasonably strong, you don't even need a jack to place the
box in position, the 4 speed should be even lighter than the 5 speed.
$1000 is a bit high for a clutch replacement job but the clutches are a
bit pricey, well they are here.

The slave cylinder Hendrik mentioned is a cake job, the throwout bearing is
more than I'd want to do as well. My Indy charged me $1000 to do a clutch
including the bearing about 6 years ago.
If it weren't carbed I might consider it, if it were a 5spd I'd already be on
the plane ;)
Remember they made a 240TD too, this can't be that bad.

Thanks guys. Looks like the bearing is a bigger job than I would want to
tackle this summer, and still end up with an underpowered car. It is a
good deal on a 123 wagon chassis if it's in good condition, but at the
moment I need something I can drive.
If anyone wants me to take a look let me know.
Thanks,
Tim
