The car magazines of the time weren't happy with the ergonomics of the stick-shift 300E either. IIRC the shifter was described as "numb" and "rubbery" and they also mentioned abrupt clutch take-up like you're describing. Anyone know if M-B built the transmission themselves or farmed it out? If the former, why didn't they just use a Getrag box as in the 190E 2.3-16?
