Research notes
Caveats and conflicts (4)
- FCP says Mercedes-sourced 6-speed, does not name Getrag. Page range is 2002-2007 W203, not the exact 2005 facelift split.
- FCP groups C230 and C350 under 716.6; US 2007 manual was C230 only per the row.
- Page speaks of the W203 coupe generally; 2005 C320 coupe manual not separately listed.
- Text says late M276 SLK350 had no manual. Table-only mention, no prose naming it for each year.
