cannot manually shift across from 'D' into '4' on a 1997 W208 CLK

Hi

On a 1997 CLK you can select Park, Reverse, Drive. Car drives fine, gearbox fluid fine and changes are smooth.

However the shifter knob cannot be moved across from D into 4. It just wont move

Any ideas why this could be?

thanks

Derek

I managed to find a thread on an american MB forum which indicates it could be a siezed mechanism. I'll investigate that and report back if i still have probs!
