My 300TD needs a new automatic gearbox. My question is what would happen if i used a gearbox from a w201 or another w124? Would it still work??

I'm only really here for the Kitchens

Not sure but I can tell you my 190 has a 3.0 w124 engine mated to a 2.6 w201 autobox.
The torque rating was checked and it was fine.

I think the gearboxes on the 124's have a bigger sump. I don't know if this is necessary though and whether one from a 201 would be perfectly fine anyway.

so the important thing to match is the torque ratings? What would happen if they slightly different?

I know absolutely nothing about gearboxes!!

The rev limit of the diesel engine is a lot lower than the petrols so the gearing is different. I think the torque convertor is different on the diesels too

You'll make life a lot easier for yourself by locating a 300TD box. If you can't do that I think I'd use a 300TE box and the diesel torque convertor as long as there isn't lots of metal swarf floating about. It won't be "right" but I'm sure it'll work
