I recently put a 240D 4 speed manual into my 300SD. Love the manual transmission. Really improves the performance and driver enjoyment. The only problem is that the clutch slips occasionally. I checked the fritcion plate before installing and it was okay. Thinking it's either a weak pressure plate or that the clutch isn't strong enough for the 3.0L turbo.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

AFAIK It's the same disc / pressure plate for 240D / 300D

Perhaps yours is worn out. I had similar issues on a 300D, got a new disc and plate combo (well they weren't new, just second hand but in good order, and from a 240D) and it works great.

The 240 tranny is strong enough. Many people like to swap it an put it on a turbp engine. I would replace the clutch and whatever else you see needs to go.

240 non turbo versus 300 non turbo is actually the same tranny. Clutch as well.

I'd like to know the ultimate limit for a 240 clutch. I've turbo'd and have a reasonably aggresive fuel settings, with plans to go more. No slipping yet.
