I just cant find these cars in manual. Does the 87 W124 300E have a manual that can be transplanted?
I'm so upset, I've been looking for Saab 900 Turbos lately...because they always have the 5 speed...
Does everyone feel equally irritated by the Dearth (and death) of the manual Transmission?

I hear ya! My Mustang is even an ATX... couldn't find a Fox body 5.0 5 speed that wasn't beaten to death. The only MTX in my fleet is the old VW bus now (Ok, and the Dodge p/u with a 3 on the tree, but she's not in use at the moment).
I have been eyeing up the VW TDIs. Refreshingly enough, it seems that the majority of them are MTX's. That'll probably be the next car I buy.
