W203 Manual Transmission

Did the W203 come in North America with a manual transmission available? I've seen some posts with some C350's with manual transmissions but I don't like a chart with which models had what available. I can really find is "Six-speed manual gearboxes were now standard for the entire range, except the C 320."

Which models in North America had available manual transmissions?

MB’s of all kinds.
01-04 The C230, C240 and a C320 could be had in a Manual. From 05-07 the c230k/C230 and the very rare C350 could be had in a manual. The most loved is the 06 and 07 C350 with a manual. Very rare to find but they do come up time to time.

Yup, I drive one with 4 pedals...it is really tough on very steep hills without a hand brake and no hill holder feature that BMW and Subaru have.

I would love to have a C350 sport model with 6sp and a motor is outside the serial numbers affected - I've only ever seen 1
