No need to change the whole console,, just the peace which has a window switches & the shifter base.....

Why does the centre window trim need to be changed? Is the shifter bigger? I only recently changed mine dont want to be buying a new one?

cm60k

The Tip. shifter is smaller than the one we have,, that’s why the hole for the Tip. has to be smaller in the console it self,, did you compare the

size between them....??

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

No not side to side. I never noticed just noticed the bottom housing is different

cm60k

Did you try to put the Tip. shifter in the place of the Exist one...??

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

No i will try it tomorrow will let you know

amg4.3

have you had any luck with the dealers?

zayed i have managed to buy wiring diagrams for our car and clk to compare

cm60k

They’re closed today,, Friday is holiday here, maybe its chance to talk to the Devils there now...--,, they could be more useFUL than the

rest of people when it open.....

If you can take the gear harness from the same car that you took the Tip. shifter from, it will be a great idea, and that will short it to us.....

Zayed i can confirm gear status is trasmmited on can bus network no wires go to the cluster

cm60k

Is that with a CLK models...?

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

Yes on clk

cm60k

Did you counts how many pin #s in the "2" connectors in the Cluster....??

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

No i haven't done that i have only compared wiring diagrams for both cars. Most wires on the tip shifter are in the same place

cm60k

I think the wire comes from the TCU to the left pin Cluster connector, but as i told; not soo sure about that....

I will check it again. I am hoping to get the shifting rod and linkage on sunday have you got any tips? Is it straight forward?

amg4.3

Any info on fitting shifting rod and linkage?

Isit necessary to change these?

Where does the cable go from the shifter?

cm60k

The cable goes from the Tip. shifter to the Steering ignition lock,,

The new Tip. linkage you have, is only to plug-off the hole for the cable, no need it for the Tip. shifter,, to plug it-off,

you need also to get a cover & O-ring & washer,,

The shifter Rod should be replaced, cause the distance in the Tip. shifter lever is different than the one we have....

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

Ok the linkage with the spring is that a tool then?

Has the ignition lock already got a place where it will fit?

Why do i need cover and o ring for? Is that needed for cable?

cm60k

Linkage is the one with a Spiral dark Red rubber,, you should to cover it, to avoid an oil leak from that area,,

The cable comes from the ignition to the Tip. shifter it self,, but in our cars is comes from the ignition to the back of the gear,

connected to the Linkage,, the Linkage need to be covered with a Tip. shifter only,,

*The lock Cable is only for the safety reason, don’t have to install it if you don’t want it.....

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

Now am confused three things were are talking about one is the shifting rod second is cable and third linkage. Shifting rod should be straight forward cable should be straight forward as you say dont have to put it on but i am putting it on as i have purchased one. Is there a cable already there in the ignition lock? The one i am confused with is the linkage as i have understood its a tool am i correct?

cm60k

Yes the shifting Rod is straight forward,,

Yes there is a cable in your car now,, but it goes to the back of the gear, you have to cancel it with a Tip. shifter swap,,

Linkage is not a tool,, you need to put it in the back of the gear to covered the hole....

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

Ok so does the linkage go in where the cable has been taken out from?

I will post a pic of which part i am talking about

amg4.3

this is what i am talking about where it goes?

cm60k

Yes of course,,
