I've never been able to find a 123 or 124 manual trans when I had jingies
to spend, but the older MBs with real transmissions shifted very nicely,
and those are all getrags
I can't imagine that the 123/124 shifts that badly.
That's surprising, as the one in the '84 190D is very nice. Sounds more
like
an old VW or Porsche shifter!

The description I've heard of the shifter is "broomstick in a bucket of
rocks"
