Does anyone know if the 1983 SD with a 722.3 has a electronic speedo?

I’m looking at my trans that I pulled out from my 1982 w123, and it looks like the speedo cable won’t fit properly on my donor transmission.

Any ideas?

Yes. SD's have electronic speedometers. Thats why your speedometer cable will not "fit" in the donor trans. Might be able to swap tail shafts or something to make it work but I'm not sure. I just know that year SD your donor trans came from has electric and your 300D needs a mechanical setup.



'98 E300 Turbo "Juliette" - Brabus wheels and almost all the options a w210 could have
'87 300D Turbo "Roxanne" - #22 head - 400E brakes - EGR Delete - 17" Staggered AMG 5 spoke rims from CLK500 - 5 Spd manual
2007 Chevy 2500HD CCSB Duramax with about 400-500 rwhp depending on the tune I use Big Grin
1983 300D Silver Exterior/Black inside - Sold and will be missed, may we never meet in a PnP.
