Steve, doyou have a part number for that Gizmo? I have see a picture of a couple of them and one in a portland PNP last July in a 81 240D.
Usually the thing is not there in all the transmissions I have pulled. W123, W124 or W201.

None of the online suppliers show it in their catalogs.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
