Like everyone else, I have been victimized by the infamous broken plastic clips on my shifter frame. I tried to find the part on parts.com but I've had no luck in tracking down any information. I'd like to replace the part with a fresh oem, but it seems like I'm heading down the path of the paper clip fix. Does anyone have an OEM p/n for this or a good recommendation on where to get one? Any suggestions?

thanks in advance.

 

Presume you mean item 82. A few P/N's. You are going to have to track with your VIN. At least it is available separately for the CLK if I read it correctly. Good luck!

yes thanks! It seems there are multiple configuration of item 82.

 

do you know what all the numbers (codes, etc) mean?

 

No!

 

If this is a common problem, this is news to me. How does this happen, and how to prevent?? (Sorry, I'm new.)

 

There is no way to prevent it. The leather boot on the shifter pulls on the bezel & breaks the bezel clips over time on older cars. I have not seen it happen on more recent models. They are supposed to have beefed up the clips. My 2003 C240 never broke it's clips - SA build.
