Manual transmission (I promise this is the last time)
Hello. I've finally sourced a transmission and all associated parts. The attached pic shows the parts that I've got in addition to the transmission itself.
Is there any other parts that I would need? I don't want to get half way and then realise I'm missing a part or two. Is there anything that is missing?
My mechanic is doing the swap for me. He said I might need a pump/master cylinder for the clutch, and the propeller shaft. He's not familiar with these swaps in Mercs so I'm hoping he's wrong.
Anyway, please help!!
Cheers,
Jeff

That's what my mechanic suggests, but he is specialised in BMWs. That's why I want some advice 
I got the parts from a guy who did a conversion himself but he's going back to AT cux he's giving the car to his wife. He swears that everything is there.

I don't see a tranny in the photo
Also the drive shaft might be a different length. I know when i did this swap on my w108 I had to swap shafts and rear differential to get better mpg on the highway.

Thanks everyone!
I guess I'll be better off getting a proper shaft then!
I won't look into diffs just yet as these are readily available locally.
But I probably won't go with this deal. The guy wants something like USD 1800 for the kit with a worn clutch and no gaiter & knob. I'd most probably gather the parts one by one, now that I have the pic to show the parts that I must have etc.
Jmoney, yes. Cars are RHD in my country. The CLS was my daily commuter and the W124 is a project car. The CLS is now gone and replaced by another MB. (CLS sucked, by the way
)
