The four-speed stick that put the first Geländewagen into gear.

The 711.2 is Mercedes-Benz’s hydraulically actuated four-speed manual for the early W460 G-Class. Paired with the petrol and diesel engines of the 230 G, 240 GD, 280 GE and 300 GD, it fed a part-time four-wheel-drive transfer case with the low-range and locking differentials that defined the Geländewagen.

It covered the G-Class from the 1979 launch through the early 1990s petrol and diesel range, before five-speed manuals (717.4) and automatics took over the later W460/W461 and W463 lines.
