Looking to replace the stock with a nice wood grain shifter to match the interior. Been on ebay and many MB sites so i know what i want, just haven't found it yet i guess. Anyone have any ideas?
Also, just how does the stock one come off? It's a 6 speed not an auto, been searching online but I've only found how to remove the auto ones. Any help here would be great.

Knob looks same as mine on auto so procedure should be same.

 

I can't find the instructions for even the auto now, should have bookmarked it. Anyone want to give a quick "how to" here?

 

Found the perfect shifter knob, but it's for Auto trans only

I needed one of these as well. A how to would be a good link to post up right here. I just ordered a cheap one from eBay. It's pretty nice looking, not ricey, and matches the interior. This is not that big of a deal for me but the shifter on the car when I bought it has like paint chips on the knob so I just didn't feel like spending $80 on a shift knob.

 

The 300xz i had before the 230, all you had to do was unscrew the knob and screw in the new one. Don't think it's that easy with the C class. I think you have to take the boot off as well.

Thanks for posting the how to sir!

 

Yeah thanks for the links, but mine looks nothing like that. Didn't know it would involve cutting the boot/knob ect. Maybe I'll just leave it be.
