I need one of these w108 shifter
I need a plastic insert that is not broken.. MB Classics says tough luck and VDO the orig. manufacturer says they turned everything over to MB after they made the part....

BC--
Try: http://www.sltechw113.com/parts/parts_index.htm Scroll about halfway down for the shift guides. New for $35! Haven't bought one YET -- let us know how they look. ***Now that I look at little closer, I think the shift pattern is different from your unit. Last edited by JMela; 03-26-2004 at 01:47 PM.

Yes the 113 pattern is sort of inverted, I don't have a 113 nearby to reference.

Might you be able to make your own?
I don't know if they still sell them....but they used to have these kits that let you surround a bug (or whatever) in clear lucite (or equal) and show it off for display. I am thinking that if you waxed everything really well, and taped off the right areas, that you could make your own. ...just an idea.. -Larry

You might try Tri-Star Pete (800-522-4737) a salvage yard in Phoenix with about a thousand MBs, probably 30 or 40 108s. BTW they are going about of business soon - the city has appropriated the land for development. They will soon be crushing about 800 cars so prices have never been so reasonable. MB salvage yards are getting to be few and far between.

Thanks to ChucK Taylor my "bad ass" shifter in in the w123 300TD wagon! A very cool install, the reflection is blinding with the sunroof open!
This shifter came out of my parted-out 1970 280SEL and my brother-in-law thought the shiflter was "bad-ass", in muscle car parlance that is really cool...

Another view....
These were DC'd in 1971 and the familiar black plastic with 2 chrome strips took over. The chrome covers are NLA from MB....

That is really cool! I have the same TD, might have to persuade the other half to let me attempt this conversion- then maybe I'll install the chrome horn-ring steering wheel out of my 108 chassis (see pic)...! I love it, a 'retro' 123...

Benzcrusher, I love that shift knob! The extra height is nice.
