I cant use a GL5 lubricant so it has be GL4 but not 5. I see that Redline is an option. Any others?
Pentosin MTF-2.
Napa sells Sta-Lube 85W90 in GL4. I use it in for my old VW Bug transmissions, which call for only a GL4 as well.

Amsoil also makes a GL-4 gear lube
A lot of the drift racers in Oz use Mobil 424.

It's also very well priced (some lives in my garage always)
This is what's in my nissan Tranny and transfer ATM.

Coastal makes a decent GL3/GL4/GL5. It cured notchy shifting in my old Muncie when it was run on regular GL5.
Motorcraft XT-M5-QS. Made Germany . Used it in my Mazdaspeed 3. Good stuff. It pricey....
There's lots of GL4s.
Your MB probably calls for synthetic.
In small quantities perhaps Redline or Amsoil would be a good bet, they make it in several viscosities.
In a larger quantity look at Mobil Delvac Synthetic Transmission Fluid 50.
What vehicle is it?
Check this site, it will tell you exactly what is specifed for MB vehicles:

At the end of this PDF article is a list of GL-4 oils for your transmission and transfer case:

The oils listed are not GL-5 oils.

Castrol Syntorq LT is a 75W-85 GL4 synthetic gear oil as well. Designed specifically for the New Venture NV4500 5 speed light truck transmission, it's available at most GM and Chrysler dealerships, albiet expensive.
On the mail order side, I've purchased this from Quad4X4.com in the past for around $17 a quart plus shipping.
