First, I had to shake my head when I noticed I was last on here 2012! The gear in my former (subject in this thread) stripped when I attempted to reset the tripometer while driving (I was a complete newbie to MBs). The faceplate screws shouldn't show any marring, since I used the proper tools during the replacement...not certain if I attempted prior to purchasing the correct tools. I believe the 300TD accumulated about 200 miles while I waited for the replacement gear.
