It has the old school P,R,N,D,4,3,2,1. How could any MB tech not know that the coded gear selector switch can be replaced instead of replacing the whole shifter?

If the switch you're mentioning is part 74 in the picture, I'm going to be pissed. I just had that replaced recently by an incompetent mechanic and asked the new tech if that could be the problem (that the guy damaged the part or installed it incorrectly).
