thank you so much for this video. helped me immediately diagnose the problem and get it fixed quickly! i have a 2004 e320, and for those who are curious about the part numbers matching, i bought part number 2112674824 [used] to replace the original part number 2112672224. it fit perfectly and there was no need to program my new [used] replacement at the stealership. the “p” and “s” settings reappeared on the dash, and the check engine light immediately turned off. i cleared the p0705 fault code and did the 5-second/2-minute transmission reset to ensure the shifting i prefer. best of all, i didn’t have any screws left over when i put the console back together! i DO recommend unbolting the entire console [including the two bolts inside the bin]. it just makes it WAY easier to pull out that plastic bracket in front of the ashtray when the console is loose. thank you again for this video. good luck to anyone who plans to do this repair. just take your time and keep up with which screws go where.
My w211 e320 2004 got stuck in drive. Gear selector would show R, N , P when selected and the car would still drive forwards. Turned the car off and wouldn’t turn back on. By chance it nudged itself into Neutral when I pushed the car, so I was able to tow it home. I looked under the car by jacking it up and the gear linage arm had slipped out of the selector bush. I clipped it back in making sure the tabs on the clip were firmly located, checking with a minor and using a couple of long flathead screw drivers / a hook and pin set. Car drives fine again. No need for me to remove anything from inside the car. This video helped me a lot showing what the connection should look like. Thanks!
Thanks for your video, my A209 is stuck in Park it’s not the break switch, … I’m going to give this a go I also have w203 shifter to swap with thanks again
Hi any help would be much appreciated.. Long story short my elderly widowed neighbour has a Mercedes 2006 E220 diesel. It totally refuses to go back above neutral. No reverse or park an can not remove the key, (also don’t know if it’s related but fault EBS and ABS on dash. Drives forward smoothly without issue. Local garage is looking £1300 to replace the gearbox but I’m convinced it can be fixed cheaper. I have decent to good mechanical knowledge but merc are not my strong point. Many thanks
Hi, great video. I got the code P0750 Transmission Range Sensor A Circuit ( PRNDL Input), do you think it is the shifter causing this or just a connection?
@@Leo555ZZZ what year is your car mate? I just put a used shifter in my 2002 c220cdi as was led to believe it would not need reprograming, wrong, only able to put used ones in cars 2000 or older it workex for a day then all sorts of issues not changing out of 1st gear saying R on dash whilst driving, not moving past N and others, my magic auto elec had to take all the "brains" out of my old shifter and put them in the new one it is now ok, so cars 2000 or newer need a "virgin" shifter and they arent cheap! So unless u do the same as my mechanic did you cant use a second hand one unless you have older than 2000 car hope you get sorted👍👍
My benz sometimes has trouble going up into reverse and park from drive. I have to play with it, wiggling the handle up in down until it finally goes into park. Do you think its this part that needs to be replaced?
If you were to swap out ecu, ignition switch, key and floor shifter...dont you have to program the conductor plate to match what you install into the s430

Hi, I have a question that I’m searching answer for but found nothing yet. I know that you’re very familiar with Mercedes because my question is about 2006 mb c 280. Here is my question for you. Where is the location of “Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Switch A0071534328 Fuel Injection Pressure Sensor for Mercedes-Benz C-280.”? Thank you in advance
Hi mate, is gear shifter same for Mercedes kompressor 2003 180 w203 and for Mercedes kompressor 240 2003 . Do you know EO number for part this asked me FCP EURO Thanks mate👍
Hi mate, I think transmissions are the same as well as the gear shifter, but the part numbers may not. The best option is to pull the old one out and find the exact part number.
Depends on age of car i found the hard way that a 2002 w203 wont accept a used shifter, only cars 2000 or older, newer than 2000 require a "virgin" shifter, unless you are able to swap all the electronic bits from your old shifter with the inside parts of a used unit which thankfully worked for me after being told by three sources a used shifter would not neex to be reprogrammed
Hello, just check to see if a peice of gear shifter leather is stuck on there or the leather is extra thick...and make sure the shifter handle is all the way in...
So mine I have to hold the shifter into drive or it won't go and as soon as I let it go it goes into natural you think if I replace the assembly it will fix the problem??
@custombuilds4573 watch my other video on how to diagnose the transmission and the fault codes. There is the possibility of having a bad bushing for the shifter too, you can check this from under the car too...

Pull the cover off and push that white button and that should help you to get the shifter out of P.

No coding is required if you use the same part number.

I have problem when putting on the seaclip to the rod, it doenst stay on it
Hello, just check to see if a peice of gear shifter leather is stuck on there or the leather is extra thick...and make sure the shifter handle is all the way in...
What website can I order this from
Check FCP Euro:
www.fcpeuro.com/Mercedes~Benz-parts/Shifter/
Pelican parts
Why did u replace?
Because it was faulty, causing the transmission to go to limp mode.
So mine I have to hold the shifter into drive or it won't go and as soon as I let it go it goes into natural you think if I replace the assembly it will fix the problem??

Where’s the white button
@tharrisharrison7066 Easy to see if you pull the cover off.
How did you open the whole thing? I hear some rattling sound within inside my gear lever position and I'm thinking of opening to check
Didn't I mention in the video?
