I dont quite get this. I think MB manuals have a horrible notchy feel to them. I'm on my second and it's almost pure guesswork sometimes where they shifts are. I've been driving manuals much of my life so my perspectives are probably somewhat different to most people in the states who seem most taken merely by the uniqueness of the thing compared to an auto.
