Update.
Progress is slow. I was informed by the dealer that the shims for gearboxes are pretty expensive (I need one for the lay shaft) so I went off on a tangent taking the 4 speed gearbox that was originally fitted to the 190E to bits. I was hoping to find some shims that would do. Unfortunately the 4 speed gearbox has deep groove ball bearings and no shims on the lay shaft...
...so back to the dealer to ask for the shim I went. Scrunched up eyes and half closed ears - waiting for the kick in the dangly bits - one euro eighty plus tax!
Spares man at the dealer has updated the MB VIN records for the car saying that a 717.412 is now fitted though.
Part gets here on Tuesday. With good weather and a stress free week I hope to have time to finish off this project.
{Got to get the car back together soon - I'm getting fed up with car parts all over the place}
