Hi, when I go to about 70mph in my E320 I get a rattle from the auto selector lever that sounds just like a loose bolt somewhere inside. Any idea on what and how to take it apart?
 
Hi

There is a rubber grommet/bush at either end of the selector rod. The end nearest the gearstick goes first and can be got from the inside of the car, the end closest to the gearbox can be got from underneath.

They can be got from the dealer and aren't expensive.

That would be my first look if trying to source your rattle.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, sounds good, and the lever is a little loose. Can you show, tell me how to do it?
 
ok, but i cannot see the grommet/bush in the picture
 
Hi

It is at the joint in pic 5 and part 89 in the attached pic

As above - almost certainly a broken bush, they're about £1 each and easy to replace :)

Have a look underneath the car at the linkage and see where the movement is.
