Is your E300D manual tranny?
sadly not, it's the standard 4-speed auto (although I hear the manual's around this time were pretty clunky anyway, so maybe not a bad thing). It seems the manual transmissions are more common on the older (pre '90's) diesels and sometimes you see them on the lower-powered petrol models (E200/220).

It is a fairly basic european spec; no leather, no A/C, manual seats (the horror!) steel wheels (upgrading to alloys soon) but I really like the 606 engine and it's been great for hauling stuff around.
