Great thats cleared that up if i get stuck will let you know

Zayed i have done exstensive research on the wiring i am really suprised that your mates car was just plug n play

The wiring loom in our car is really different from the current wiring harness only 3 wires are used the rest a new loom has to be made going to correct positions

cm60k

No my friend, i didn’t say plg & ply,, i just said my friends car is easier to work with, cause it has a latest version of wiring & TCU,

That’s which makes the things different,,

depend how luck we have....

I have found correct pins numbers on the shifter connector just stuck on pin 5,9 and 10 just need to find wires, which go in them pins in my car

Zayed for future reference, any chance you could get the build date of your car and your bud's so we might have some idea when they switched it and what ours have?

cm60k

Im not sure what Exactly missing about those pins, as i think, "3-5-9-10" pins related to the "Input & out-put power for the back-up light",

need to find out closely about that......

cm60k

Sure, i just wait to my friends car to get a full idea about swapping for our cars, hope he will not late.....

Zayed i have both shifters side by side they are both totally different. I dont understand how just by changing the housing from the old shifter will make it fit in the housing from the old shifter is totally different

amg4.3

the left shifter is from my c43 the right is from clk


the tip shifter has deaper bottom housing it actually sits in where as c43 shifter sits flush on top

cm60k

Do you pulled over your shifter(which is in the left side)...?, if so, do you have a plastic bracket under it...??, or just the one in the pic.....???

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

The left selector is complete i haven't taken anything off it they both look totally different

cm60k

When you pulled-out the shifter, did you see any bracket, or you see the directly tunnel hole.....??

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

No bracket i unsrewed the four bolts the shifter came off in one piece no other bracket you can see straight in to tunnel hole once the shifter is off

cm60k

I asked you that, cause i need to clarify important thing, there’re "2" different tunnel & insulation area under the shifter,,

One comes with an alloy bracket that holds the shifter, and the other comes with a plastic in the shifter it self, that depend of the car spec. & Vin #,

The "W202 & W208 & W210 & W170" between "aug1999 to fab2000" comes with a thin bigger hole alloy bracket that holds the shifter in it,,

cause MB expanded that tunnel hole to match the Tip. shifter after "apr2000",, some models got that bracket & some isn’t,,

Although it has like our shifter,,

That’s why i need to get my friends car to confirm if that bracket comes separately, or with a tunnel assembly.....

ZAYED,,

cm60k

If you can contact the shop you bought your shifter, and tell them to pictured the area under the shifter, you will see clearly if there’re a

bracket or not....

ZAYED,,

cm60k

Do you have Exactly the same of this tunnel hole..?



ZAYED,,

amg4.3

Yes its exactly the same tunnel hole

amg4.3

Zayed what shall i do next?

I have ordered the other parts today

amg4.3

Have received all parts this morning. Ready to fit them on.

Zayed what shall i do strip the old shifter and put new shifter parts in? Is that what i need to do as i don't think they will fit it can you confirm this?

cm60k

I went to the dealer today,, unfortunately they said; the tunnel bracket in the late of the W202 NOT comes separately,, it comes complete assembly, and when i asked them about the part # of the bracket or at least the tunnel assembly, they said we don’t have it in our system,, we need to contact the Germany dealer...,,

And about the wiring diagram, they said; you should to purchasing the wiring diagram from our shop,, because we loving you, we will give it to you around ($10,700)..., don’t forget, that price reflects how much we loving you....

ZAYED,,

cm60k

Did you try to put the Tip shifter in the place of the old one..?, and do you have a thread for the right side screws.....??

ZAYED,,

amg4.3

The new one doesn't sit in at its bigger at the bottom and the screws don't line up they are different place

cm60k

That’s why i told you how lucky lucky my friend is,, any way; i Emailed one guy in Germany yesterday to give me the bracket #

or the tunnel assembly #,

And i called my friend today, he didn’t answer until now,, im waiting for both to answer me shortly, AS I HOPE.....
