As stated in the subject line, I am in need of an M45 transmission for my 1980 242DL. My transmission let go last weekend, I think the input shaft is broken based on the fact that the car does not move in any gear or in reverse when the clutch is let out (engine running, of course). The driveshaft does not turn while the car is running and in gear, so I know the rear end isn't broken. The clutch pedal still feels normal as well. I'm in the process of pulling the transmission from the car to see exactly what failed.

There are no 'u-pull-it' type yards here in Urbana, IL, and only one yard of the "we'll-pull-it-for-you-if-we-have-it-and-rape-your-wallet-while-we're-at-it' near here. They don't have one anyway. I've checked the classifieds here at the brickboard, checked on ebay, and even posted a want-to-buy message on the classifieds here. But since not everyone who visits this forum regularly checks the classified section, I'm asking here if anyone has a good, working M45 for sale within 200 miles of Champaign/Urbana IL?

Will also consider a good working M46 if all parts including the driveshaft are there... If you have an M45 or M46 for sale, please contact me via email at billmz_@_cox.net (remove underscores) with the details. Thanks,
