I am looking for a gear shift mechanism for a 190 Cosworth 5 speed (dog leg box) Does anyone happen to either have a spare or know where one can be found.

Hi, I am thinking of changing my current SLK230 for a 7g gearbox SLK350 and would like to know if the paddle (or button) shifters on the steering wheel are standard or on the option list. If anyone has the buttons, do you use them or think they are worthwhile? Cheers for any info.

Hi! I have C30 AMG facelift (-04). Do anyone know Is it posible to change steering wheel from C55 for exaple or 7Gtronic steering wheel with shift buttons. So want buttons to get work ofcourse with gearbox. Do I need some other equipment change?

Have searched the forums, but don't find anything similar. So help me out here. When coming to a standstill, the trans shifts into first gear really late ie. at a speed that is almost near or at stop, which results in a slight surge just before stopping. Similar to if you would mildly jab the...

Hi, I thought I would post my experience and what was causing my poor auto shift in case it might help anyone else. My recently purchased SL320 R129 developed really jerky shifts. This got really bad after needing to do reset the adaptive values for the engine. Whilst investigating a...

2003 ML270 CDI with auto transmission Gear changes are VERY soft and especially the change 3 to 4 the gear appears to slip for a moment during which time the engine flares up for a moment. I've heard people complaining about hard shifts looking for ways to adjust but mine are the opposite - I...

My dear old W124 300d Estate was "kissed" by a Land Rover and the front os wing is now well and truly modified, as is the leading enge of the drivers door. Luckily there damage to the steering gear or bonnet. Anyhow - Since this 2mph shunt the car gives hard gear shifts. I've checked the tran...

is the shift interlock cable located at the back of the gearbox? i think i my box is an 722.062. i believe the washer on it is cracked and its leaking oil. how much will it cost to rectify it.

Hi all, After reaching the 250000 km,the gear shift bulb has blown out,I searched for changing it and it was an easy job. I ordered it from local dealer. First I had to remove the glove box between the two front seats,there were just two screws inside it and under the key hole,after that I...

Hi all, I'm very fond of the old style shift knob as on W124 and earlier. I wanna transfer the knob plus the base (yoke) onto the W202 RHD, but wonder if they will fit and fuction okay, since the slotted gate are of the opposite in shape. OR do I need to use the whole assembly from early...

Hi all, C250D is finally (almost:rolleyes:) back on the road - {History: refurb head, injectors, new glow plugs, de-glazed bores, new piston rings, fuel timing re-set to 12 degrees ATDC, factory setting 14 degrees ATDC} Engine is all back together and running sweet, re-timed fuel injection...

After various threads about the paddles and the airbag removal, I thought I would post my DIY today. I was quite nervous as some threads talk of using Dremel tools and all sorts of gubbins. I had been told these would be a straight swap, and luckily they were! Part number is A171 267 00 46...

Is this a possible mod - mine has the tiptronic grearbox ?

Hi, My 1983 280SL (LHD) auto has developed a problem with gear shifting: When cold, she will happily shift 1>2>3 and back down 3>2>1 as normal. However once really warmed up (say 30mins) she will only shift 1>2 and back from 2>1. She will not shift up into 3rd. Any ideas or courses of action...

My 2003 W168 (A class A160 Auto) when cold won't shift into top gear. I live 1/2 mile from the motorway so the engine is still cold when I get there. 80MPH and the car is in 4th. If I switch on cruise or tap the gear shift to the right then the car will change gear. Otherwise it just sits...

I thought I’d post some ramblings on here about my shift with traffic police yesterday (1300-2300 shift). I’ll try and keep it informative but not too specific for obvious reasons. Arrived at 1300, had a brief hello with the people I didn’t already know, and we had a quick look at cars...

as i purchased the wrong size/shape from the merc dealer for a chrome gear shift surround, does anyone know the actual merc part number for one that will fit a W124? i've seen the ebay ones for approx £15 - but i am concerned that eitehr these will be poor quality, or not the right size (many...

The plastic cover around the gear shift (one with S & W switch attached) keeps lifting out of the surround panel. Now found out one of small the plastic retaining clips at front of cover has broken off. Looks like the whole cover along with leather gaitor has to slide up over gear shift...

So tomorrow is the big day, I'll be seeing Richard for the paddle shift mod. For those contemplating the mod for your W203, the part number for the updated shifter surround (with C,S,M button) is A209 267 01 88. Ignore the A209 prefix, this part fits both cars. Update to follow tomorrow...
