Improved my shifting and driving enjoyment of my old Mercedes 100%. Highly recommended. As long as you don't mind some time spent reinstalling those tricky metal shift rod clips. Not a lot of room to work. Need small hands. What an improvement though. Cheers, Roman

Peter I don't know. But for the cost of the parts, I would order the repair kit. If anything, the only part that might not need replacing is the aluminium knuckle, so you can either the entire repair kit (# 14, P/N A1242602539) or alternatively order 2 of # 23, 2 of # 20, 2 of # 29, 2 of # 65, 1 of # 26, 1 of # 62, 1 of # 17 and 1 of # 35. But then you can end up finding that you need to replace the alu- knuckle and IT IS NOT SOLD SEPARATELY, so you end up buying the repair kit again. Not worth the risk for just € 50....

| Re: The best $18 ever spent I have a 2002 G500. Has anyone encountered the problem of not being able to put the vehicle into park, or back into reverse from the neutral position? Any chance this may assist in reconciling this intermittant (rare) problem I have encountered? Thanks in advance!  Edited by prbmeat 3/29/2011 7:07 PM | ||
