1993 E190 Gearbox Inquiry

Hi Folks

I came across your site and I am hoping someone can help.
I own a 1993 E190 1800cc Mercedes Benz
Now I absolutley love this car, but have two irretations about it
Now like most older mercs I know, she does over heat if driving through a lot of trafffic, stop go traffic light stuff.
But my biggest pain is the cars gearbox!
As mentioned it has a 1800 motor with fuel injection, but has a terrible 4 speed manual gearbox with horrible ratios, giving terrible "performance" (I know she is not an AMG ) and even more terrible fuel consumption.
What I would like to know is, is there another 5 or even 6 speed gearbox that I could have fitted to this vehicle? prefferably not automatic.

here is a pic of her....
