I figured it out, I ordered the wrong part damnit. I edited and added the correct number in the first post to correct it.

OK so I call MB with the correct part number and they refuse to sell it to me. They have them in stock in Germany but since I dont have a valid registration of a car that uses that part I cant order it here.

Does anyone have a registered 5speed that I can send money to so you can order this part for me from MB? Its only a $50 part

So what happened with Rusty? Thought $117 looked good.

woohoo, got my cross member today. shipped from a great forum member in Europe. no matter what I tried MBUSA would not sell me one no matter how many they had in stock in Europe. So, this is the correct part for a 5 sped swap pictured below.

Good too know you got your part. That is a strange policy they have over there

agreed, I think its a preposterous policy invented by obese clerks on loan to Mercedes from a selection of the worst DMVs in the country. Who else could come up with such exquisitely tuned red tape so effectively?

MB strikes me as generally efficient, for unnecessary, insulting, and time consuming policies, where else to look but a vehicle registry?
