even the 110 automatics were/are 4 speeds. MB never put a 2 speed or 3
speed auto in a car.
How many gears in a 300D?
2 in each of 4 doors = 8
4 to pump the oil = 4
2 in the steering gear = 2
2 in each front seat = 4
2 for each forward speed in the trans = 8
3 for reverse in the trans = 3
4 in the differential = 4
A cursory tally indicates there are at least 33 gears in an 83 300D, not
considering the clock.

Are you sure about that? I was sure that I was told the 115 is old enough
that it is only a 3 speed. So far as I am
aware, it only shifts twice and the gear it starts in is fairly low. I
doubt there is a gear below that.

115's are 4 speeds, they start in 2nd. You have to push pedal down all
the way and hit the kickdown to go into first, or manually shift it there.
