funny...
Though I don't have an MB, a similar scenario occured with my current car.
After having warranty work peformed on the transmission I hadn't even driven off of the dealer's lot when I had to head back due to a new strange grinding noise. Two weeks later I get the car back, different paperwork, though apparently indicating (mostly) the same parts. No grinding, but this time the entire transmission is new but the paperwork doesn't indicate it. I knew by the condition of the case. Very strange.

One thing I know for sure, the dealer who told me there was no demand for 6spds is missing one cash sale they should've been able to fill. I bought from the dealer who had a car I could drive, I didn't buy that car, but they had one I could test drive at least. The week I bought mine another guy was looking for a 6 spd car as well, so there is some demand for sure.

I had a similar experience with my first salesman...he no longer works at the MB dealer...he's pushing automatics over in Lexus land now. Real shmuck of a fellow.
