I instantly fell in love with the W115's after I drove kevin's(kpmurphy) 1970 220D with a auto tranny. Yeah it was a bit under powered but it drove GREAT. Really once you go going its was fine.

There isn't a control rod going to the tranny?

If need be I can manually shift the transmission by moving the shifter.

I'll report back, of course i'll get pics.
