Look here for Mercedes Manual Transmission. If you cant find any numbers like 717- engraved on the gearbox, it is likely that it is not one originally intended for use on the Mercedes. My manual gearbox came from a W126'. To engage the Reverse gear, I need to lift the gear stick and push far left and down.

Some clues here if your gearbox was from the pre W124 era.
