Doing more research today, Apparently I think I can confirm the same 722.4 mercedes bolt pattern as the Jeep Wrangler NSG370 manual 6 speed trans. These are even less expensive. Does not look like the G56 (Getrag 238) will bolt to the W202 without an adapter plate. A direct fit of course would be much easier with over the counter componants

Great gear ratios that work very well with my current 3.07 rearend.

Current trans (722.4 auto 4sp):
4.25/2.40/1.48/1

NSG370 manual 6sp trans:
4.46/2.61/1.72/1.25/1/0.84
