Stevo,
Contrary to what the auto parts WebSite's are telling me, I predict that your "Stick Shift" MBZs will have mechanical "dash pods" that are connected directly to the accelerator linkage... NOT vacuum "dashpots" as I have just used and have been talking about on our two 1980 auto tranny cars.
Please come back and POST your findings here so I and others following this now and in the future might benefit.
