Hi Everyone,

I recently purchased a very clean, good running 1973 142E with an automatic. Along with the car, came all the necessary parts to swap it over to a m40, including a questionable transmission.

My question is, what kind of bench inspections can I do determine the condition of a m40 transmission? I don't want to go through the trouble of removing my fully functional bw35 automatic; just to replace it with a loud, leaky, difficult to shift m40. I'd consider rebuilding the transmission that was included with the car, but I also bet I could find several decent used m40 (if not a m41) locally.

I don't want to keep the bw35 in forever and I have done a swap like this before.

Thank you all in advance.

Colin
