| Transmission and Shifting Question
I am not able to shift to 1st gear (or hold the gear). My shifter on my G320 has the following:
GL
R
N
D
3
2
-> B I am not able to shift and/or hold B (1st Gear). I have tried to shift and hold it from a complete stop from both High and Low gears too. Is there a switch or connection that I can check? |

your 320 has a micro switch at the shift lever onsole. When you put it in 2 and move it to the right, the microswitch will engage. Maybe this switch is disconnected or broken. RGDS Klaus |

Where does it connect to the transmission?
How can I test it? |

It connects with a small gage size cable to the control Unit. Disassemble the middle console and you will find the connector at the shift Unit. It shold be a simple test by connecting both wire together possible. |

I would check in the console first too. It is very possible that the switch has just been knocked out of adjustment. |
