SLK230 5speed Manual

CR said:

Help,
I am what appears to be one of the 3 SLK 5speed owners in the US. I think that the shifter could/should be a bit more precise. There are shifter kits for BMW and othe makers but I have found none for the MB SK.
Any suggestions?

The "forum suggestions" really means Suggestions on new forums, moderators and everything web site related.

As for your question, i'm not sure, but I wish my '98 SLK was stick, too bad they didn't offer it in '98.

I'm marrying one of the other two 5 speed SLK owners, she has a 2000 SLK230 with Sport package. I don't know if that is different than your setup, but I find it very precise. I do have some trouble with reverse and the 1st to 2nd transition, but this is partially due to the fact that my car is an old 5 speed Accord with reverse on the opposite side. I'll be changing that soon enough when my C230 arrives!

You can probably find much more information about the SLK here:

This is the SLK forum at MBWorld.

Good luck!
