You would do best to find a 300d clutch and flywheel. Be sure to mark the
position of the flexplate to the crank and to TDC and get the new flywheel
balanced to match, The 240D clutch is not made for the torque and HP of a
300D. There are some parts places in Germany on the web. You might be
able to get a 300D flywheel from Germany, used. www.dbdepot.de is a
source for new, and be sure to talk to Rusty to see what he can get.

It looks like the 240D manual tranny will find its way into my 300D. The
280 is in fact a Euro. Too bad the body is not in better shape. It is
bright red in color and has the gentleman's name who took delivery of it
inside the driver's side door. It also sports the cool cloth interior. I
might transpose that to my 300D as well (since it is also a Euro). Anyone
for a inline six complete with tranny?

You want the 300D engine with the 300D differential if you chose to change
things around. Others have covered most of the pitfalls. adjusintg the
linkage seems like the easiest way out.
NO, the Gasser trans is not an interchange for the Diesel
Somebody might want a 280 twin cam. Is yours a Euro?
