btdaffe Member Date registered: Jan 2013 Location: North San Diego County Vehicle(s): 1980 LWB 300GD Posts: 17 | Need Rebuilt 300GD Manual 4 speed Transmission Hi, Sadly the transmission (manual 4 speed) in our 1980 300GD died the other day. Horrible grinding sound in 1, 2, 3rd gears. No idea what happened. So now I'm searching for someone that can rebuild ours or find a good rebuilt trans. I would appreciate any leads on this. I live in North San Diego county. Thank you for any input. Bellamy | ||

Lots of good left coast 460 folks there and more than a few parts hoarders among them. That gearbox is very straightforward and should be able to be serviced by anyone who deals with foreign car crash boxes. I'll shake some trees and see if I can find someone recommended in your area. -Dave G. | ||

Well north of you, but a well known MB transmission specialist who can repair your trans. | ||
