I don't know. I only ever researched it a little bit, to see if a 4M40 would fit my existing 4WD Diesel 5-Speed. I imagine it would be possible IF the 4M40 also uses a KM145 / KM145D Transmission (I forget what the 2WD versions were called, the 4WD was KM145 for the 2.0/2.6 and KM145D for the 4D55) like the 2.0/2.6 & 4D55 did. I imagine they used a stronger transmission with the 4M4x engines.

In a worst case scenario, you could always use a different/common 2WD transmission with an Adapter. The AX-15 (found in Jeeps and Dodge Dakotas) is popular with the Mercedes 5-Cylinder Diesel Swap Crowd, guys make adapters (a flat plate with a matching flywheel spacer) to fit them to the Jeep & Dodge Bellhousings
