I guessed at the engine as I'm not too familiar with the V6 c230s.

Chassis: c203.052 / c230
Engine: 272.920
Type: 716.638 /MG

I had read somewhere that it was a new or revamped version of the old manual so I wanted to make sure. I have become very unhappy with how mine shifts and the dealer does not seem to care but I have a feeling they have not seen many manuals

It is a newer version, the type for the 271 engine is 716.628.

Out of curiosity, what's the MG doing?

The transition from first to second is extremely rough and sloppy. My 4 speed 81 vette shifted much better and a late model accord I drove the other day. Just kind of irritating.

I have a manual as well and I do have to agree from 1st to 2nd is kinda of irritating. The gear ratio is way too short to get the most out of the 1st gear.
