Is the 1999 SLK a normal manual or is it tiptronic?

Thanks!

I believe the 99 SLK was the first model year to have manual transmission standard

You can get an SLK in a manual. I believe it's a pretty damn good transmission too. We don't get too many manual SLK's with tranny problems in our shop.

all mercedes manual trannys suck. not as far as problems go but just in general

Would like to prove that with facts or is that just a really dumb statement? :rolleyes:

The old SLK manuals were a little stodgy. It was the same manual as in the base spec C - Class. The changes were un-involvong and soft, and the throw was huge too, if its the 1996-2004 SLK, the go for auto/tiptron. The new '04 SLK on the other hand is brilliant. Its the first time I could really say that I'd buy a new mercedes with in a manual. Its a 6 speed, and its so sharp, and crisp. It really adds to the new dynamic drive of the SLK which owes nothing to the C - Class this time around (thank god)!
