Hello everyone,

So my gear shift assembly finally bit the dust . I have a 2000 C280 Sport with the Tiptronic Assembly, which is outrageously expensive. Will the non-tiptronic assembly work in my car, or am i going to have to get the Tiptronic one? It's $80 vs. $500, so the price difference is significant. Thanks!

 

If you can find one on eBay it's going to be a lot cheaper. I have a C230 and spilled water on it totally ruined it. Look on eBay for a I think you have a w202..Just do a search on ebay for W202 tiptronic shifter or C280 tiptronic shifter assembly you'll find a lot. These get pulled from scrap cars etc. That's why they're so cheap.

If you don't mind it used it's gonna be pretty cheap. I got mine off eBay and it's been working for half a year already going strong.
