I think the shift pattern is different.

The 2005 has reverse gear to the left and forward.

The 2001 has reverse to the left and back (sometimes called dog-leg reverse).

Nothing MB related (sorry)
... that's for the manual gear shifter. 2005 auto shifters will fit the pre 2005 without a problem.

OK, sorry. I thought we were talking about a manual shifter.
