Manual Shifter Adjustment Tool

Hello everybody.

I’ve been digging through some files about the manual gear shifter, and I’ve found one that details how to adjust the mechanism (http://benzbits.com/w203/AdjustShiftPlate.pdf)

However, it’s required a tool (716 589 00 23 00). Does anyone know the dimensions of this tool (mainly the thickness), so I can design it and print it using a 3D printer?

Thanks in advance.

Discontinued. Bummer. You'd have to speak with a mechanic at a shop.

It might be!
Thanks! I’ll check and, if does work, share the 3D model with everyone.

What are you building the model in?

If I can get my hands on one - happy to replicate in IGS or STL…

Keep us 3% USA manual users updated!

I'm building the model on SolidWorks since that's one of the programs that I use every day.
I'll keep everyone updated, and when I've got a working model (let me check on my car first), it will be posted on various places (mainly printables.com/thangs.com).
Of course, if needed, I will create a new thread.

So, this is it: https://www.printables.com/model/832...-setting-gauge
I've not yet tested it in my car, however, the dimensions are correct, following the post on the other forum.
If any changes are necessary, please let me know!
I advise printing this in PETG or even in ABS/ASA, to be more heat (and drop) resistant.
