In my quest to convert a C304 to electronic speed sender, I found some threads on here that used a certain part number, but it only seemed to be available in Germany, if you could even find it. I am in USA, so this is not ideal for me. However, doing a lot of research online, I have found a part that fits the C30x transmission, and provides an electronic signal, that also seems to be available anywhere! Here is the part we ordered:

It also has a Mercedes part number on it, which is 005.542.9417, so maybe it can be found from a MB OEM parts dealer??
The only bad thing is, its kind of big. I had to loosen the parking brake shield to fit it in, and also grind down some of the plastic top end so it wasn't rubbing. It is a very tight fit, but it fits. Here are some pictures:
Hope this helps someone!!
