Stuck in Park. Atlanta area HELP!

Hi guys, can anybody in the Atlanta area help me change the plastic lever in the shifter unit?
The car is a 2003 SL55 AMG but I know this forum has had similar experiences with the stupid plastic lever.

It was stuck a few days ago and I managed to put in neutral and I have the center console disassembled. I can order the lever online. Local shops want 400-600$, and rather pay somebody who has done this before for to help me through it. I'm willing to drive anywhere locally or at my place towards Peachtree City. Please reply to the thread or email: mpowerag@yahoo.com

Thx

I have actually seen a "how to" but don't remember if it was on one of these forums or on you tube. Do a search on "Stuck in Park" and you should be able to find it. From what I saw it was not very difficult to do. Did you get the replacement part yet? They are all over ebay.

Man, I just moved away from Atlanta last month, I would have done it for free for you. Just remove the entire broken piece and don't worry about replacing it..

Thx for the support guys. I'm getting impatient and so I'm just going to have the local shop fix it.
