Hello
BW 35 "box" was tired - has hardly been running for about 25 years and they can not liked.
So there came a "new" box on - an AW 70/71, and it works super, much better fuel consumption and much lower revs.
You will need this parts;
A AW 70/71 with outer speedometer outlet. They sat on the first 240, buy the "whole" gear box with all accessories, cable wires, switches, etc.
A conversion "flange" between the engine block and gearbox. Can be bought here in DK, cast in aluminium.
New oil cooler hoses. Get them done at a truck repair shop - very cheap.
A new and shorter drive shaft (from the first 240) - it must be balanced.
Maybe the middle rubber ball bearing has to be moved to fit the new drive shaft, since '74 is a bit of a mutant, since it is a model between a 164 and a 240, so there may be several different solutions.
Since a 164 with BW 35 run with a different rear axle than a 240, it will be a little slower at the start - but it's not a race car we have LOL.
Gog day -
