transmission compatibility? 1979 300sd to 1980 300d

hi, i have the excellent guide on how to replace transmission, and am about to try this with my dad. he has the transmission out of the parts car, a 1979 300sd, and the torque converter wouldn't come with it (broken timing chain so no turning over). before we take out the badly slipping transmission from my 1980 300d, we're trying to determine compatibility issues. any known problems?? any help much appreciated, thank you! -noah

WVO Coversion Miracle

I've been running WVO for over a year now on a competitors system. Finally i got fed up with both the poor engine performance and my secondary WVO tank with heat exchanger built in. (I was starting to get scum build up in the tank from the constant heating and cooling inside. I also have problems with leaks and the fact that it made the temperature of my trunk rise to over 90% after a few hours was getting to me). I pulled out the system and replaced it with a system from mercedessource.com and I get a miracle. The electric boost pump and sump heater supplied by mercedescource are amazing.
