I'm struggling to remember: Was it that the transmission was made by somebody else?
If anyone happens to have some insight on this, I'd appreciate learning the real story. Thanks-

I happen to have the original German version for the w126 on my computer.
It is as elaborate as Zulfiqar describes and more: It also has a separate entry for the manual transmissions, clutch and pedal assembly of those years.
Another advantage of the German (original) vs English version of the manual other than having the transmissions is the resolution of the photographs. Those are much clearer than the rather blurry ones in the English version.
Will be happy to make it available if you can suggest a painless (one or two mouse-click

) way to do so.
Or access BitTorrent and search "Werkstatt-Information Typ 123" (instead of typ 126 which is what I have) so you'll get the entire manual for your car.
