Over in the US the place to go with for this sort of thing is Sunvalley transmissions in California. They are experts of classic Benz transmissions. Being 10K miles away in Qatar I doubt that is possible or feasible.
Having an M102 engine, your best bet is actually converting to manual transmission now. They last forever and will outlive your car and will give the car the pep it needs with a 2L engine.
I'm guessing the cost would be the same as acquiring a worthy Auto transmission. There should be plenty of W201 190E's with manual transmissions in and around your country.

Everything should be a bolt on from an M102 W201 to a M102 W124 accept the drive-shaft because the lengths are different.
The drive shaft is generally lengthened by a shop or can be found on a M102 W124 wrecking yard.

You have to also make sure you get the flywheel (in the bell housing) from the manual transmission M102 W201 as I do not know if the auto and manual transmission flywheels are the same.
So 2 parts, flywheel and driveshaft is what you have to secure. And of course the clutch pedal with its switch to turn off cruise control. Even the electricals do not need modification because the switch is in series with the brake pedal switch. It is plug and play.

This swap is always done to W201 (190E) in the US now because Mercedes shipped very few manual transmissions to US back in the 80's and 90's. I am guessing 1/100 shipped were manuals. Maybe less. Not so for the rest of the world. I was fortunate I stumbled into mine back in 1989 (190E).
So here they are hard to find in the US and a used manual transmission kit reclaimed from a wrecking yard generally costs $2K.

If you want details you should look under W201 forums as I never had do this myself and only helped a friend remove a W201 manual transmission in a wrecking yard to help a friend. It only took 2-3 hours to remove all the parts needed.

- Cheers!

I forgot one more part you need. The transmission mounts are different (just slightly but one will not work for the other) between Manual and Auto.
You will need a manual transmission mount. I bought a new one from the dealership within the last few months and they are not super expensive. Less than $50 is what I recall.

Good luck with the parts search .....
