Great video, quick note, I did this job in my 2005 SL55. In my case the new aluminum lever did not match there plastic one and didn't work correctly. I had to take and file it down to match. So if you do this job try to compare the profile of the new lever to the plastic one.

Thanks, Larry. I gave 2 part numbers and suggested to purchase both and return the one that doesn't fit as an option.

@@masood-tv in my case it was the poor quality of the aluminum part. It was around 1 or 2 mm larger than it should be so the lock mechanism didn't work correctly.

@larrydeem3071 thank you, Larry, for the reply. The reason I asked was to be able to answer questions from others in the future. I had ordered both parts from Amazon. The one which didn't fit was slightly different in a couple of dimensions and it too appeared it could be modified to fit an S500. Thx again.

How did you move the pin that you can push in, right above that one screw at the front?

I’m sorry, there wasn’t one on your unit but I have one on my unit. I finally got the shifter out but the plastic lever wasn’t cracked nor broken. Maybe the lever is not the problem. I’m not stuck in park but sometimes stuck in drive.

My symptoms are different, it doesn't lock in P, but sometimes the gearbox goes into a strange mode while driving. As if it got stuck in one gear and stops switching. When stopping the car, I cannot switch from N to R or P. Only when I turn it off can I switch to P and when I start it again, everything returns to normal for some time. Can anyone suggest what could be the reason?
