I've had a couple other non-MB manual transmission vehicles in the past decade
and ALL of them used auto-trans fluid in the manual transmission. It strikes me
odd that we're having this conversation with how common the practice is now.

I thought they used tranny fluid, type A maybe?

Hi Kaleb,
Isn't type A an automatic transmission fluid?
Tarek stated in his post that his transmission is manual!
Tarek,
I am no excpert but the reason for that may have to do with a car which
was intended for operation in very cold climates! Was your car bought
in Europ, or manufactured for European use?
