Hello everyone this is my first post here. I've searched the forums for this and haven't found any conclusive post and I've come to a dead end here and need some information about the conversion from a automatic to a manual.

I've bought a w203 220cdi that had a six speed manual from factory and was used as a taxi in my country. The owner changed the motor and transmission after the car reached about 1,2 million kilometres. He bought a 2nd c220 donor car, same motor,auto transmission and swapped the whole thing to the 1st c220.

Now, when i bought it, it had another's 600k kilometres on the car and the automatic transmission is toast after it had water entering from somewhere.

Since my father had already a c220 cdi and upgraded to a E class, i have a whole donor car that is going to be scrapped eventually due to extensive rust and that has a manual transmission.

So my thought is to return the c220 I've bought to manual using my fathers old c220 because I don't want to spend a fortune finding a used automatic transmission and i won't be 100% certain that it won't have any problems down the road.

The info i need, if anyone has a clue, is if i am going to direct swap the engine, transmission, shifter, pedals, cluster,ecu, wiring and everything else that is needed to complete it will be enough or do i also have to code something to make it work? Both cars are same year same engine.

Thanks in advance for any information.
