Subject: Re: [MBZ] Shifter problem on '83 240D stick-shift
Is the rod from the tranny still connected to the shifter unit? Is it
a snug fit, or does it move quite a bit? There's a nylon bushing
between the rod and the arm it attaches to (on both ends). If it's
missing, it's possible that the rod is jambed, or disconnected.

My '83 240D won't shift into 3rd or 4th gear. I pulled off the road and
when I pulled back on the gear shift would move very far forward and very
far back but woudn't shift the gears, so I drove home in 2nd.
Looking under the car I found that the shifter mechanism for 3rd and 4th
did
not move the lever connected to the transmission. In trying to track down
parts, used shifter units, and information on repair; here is the result:
Rusty does not have parts-- Precision MB in Tampa shows a fork and
detente
but would have to order it and isn't sure if that would fix it-- Potomac
MB
doesn't have a used unit-- Kaleb has a shifter unit but only sells it with
pedals, transmission, and drive shaft-- the MB CD doesn't show anything on
it--I can't find a drawing of it anywhere (haven't gone to the library
yet.)
All suggestions will be much appreciated. If anyone has a shifter unit
from
a parted out car, that would be great if he price isn't too high.
