The main purpose of this thread is to show the trials and tribulations of a R380 swap in a D2. Lots of people asked the question what is needed to do the swap but never show the nuts and bolts of the process.

So let's get started!! I jacked the front up and put it on blocks. I followed the process shown in the free D2 repair manual to remove the Autobox.

Let's keep this thread positive. Peace!
