I managed to get a running OM617 for extremely cheap. i just have to wait a few weeks to get it. The only thing it's missing is the Turbo, because he had upgraded it and is putting it on his new swap.

Yes, but you only get 1st, 3rd & 4th with the floor shifter, aka "limp mode". 3 shifter positions and 4 gears.
