Right - trouble in paradise

Finding parts with out decent EPC help is as always a bit of a problem.

One of these days I guess I'm going to have to get a subscription.

Still using the resources I have I managed to find the following pictures.

This picture is as close as I can get to the parts I have although I've not seen the bracket 104 before!



The other variant of the 5 speed shifter (where I got the number for the repair kit) is here =>



Now this 5 speed shifter looks like it has been used for W202s W203s and SLKs up until this century / millennium

################

The problem with the repair kits:-

First picture - part 10 - repair kit does not seem to exist. This is NLA - I can't even find a number for it.

Second picture - part 14 - does exist and is the kit I have bought - part number 1242602539

So I could only get the repair kit for the wrong shifter. As shown above the biggest problem is the wings on the metal joint.

This metal joint is meant to fit into a different plastic support.

The plastic support I have is 124 267 01 40





And the metal joint don't fit




################


Solution 1

Shave / cut off the edge of the expensive metal joint in the repair kit so that it fits into the plastic support

Solution 2

Possible solution might be to upgrade to a new plastic support. This is a 4 euro part at the dealership so I'm going to gamble and see if it fits.

I have a gut feeling that may be just may be in WIS there's information about an upgrade! But I'm unlikely to find that out for sure just at the moment.

I'm going to see if solution 2 is going to work.
