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.

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.
