Dreaded R230 stuck in park fix

[Chandelierman]

My R230 has started to get stuck in park every now and then ....I have got a replacement rear brake switch on order but as I can feel the solenoid clicking when I depress the brake pedal I am suspecting that I am going to end up replacing the "Achilles heal" gearbox bracket ...... is there anyone in Southend that can do this? ....what is the rough cost to do it? ....I have seen a cnc' billet ally replacement available ....has anyone used this or does everyone just replace with a standard plastic one? ...do Merc offer a stronger option? ....thanks

My advice is to get it stripped first, they tell you there is a choice of two, but in reality there is 3.

Don't just let any old jo fit it
