Can't be done! Send me the flywheel, clutch parts, trans,
driveshaft and pedal assembly, along with the clutch
hydraulics. For that absolution, I'll give ya a couple of hundred bucks!

I have an 85 123 wagon with the regular slushbox. It has only 160K mi
on it and is still going strong. I have no intention of getting rid of
the thing as it seems to improve with age.
I recently identified a gray market 300d (sedan) of similar vintage
with a bad motor which has the 5-speed, and am thinking about doing the
transmission switch.
Anyone ever do this before? How painful is it?
I know if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but I think I would enjoy the
next 200K miles more with a manual shifter, Compared to what it would
cost to buy a new(er) car, this seems a reasonable investment in my
driving satisfaction.
