Hello friends ,
My friend had engaged the reverse gear by forcing it in without engaging clutch , since then it was fixed by a lame mechanic & now for the second time when i tried engaging the reverse gear the car gears doesnt engage but when brought into neutral the car moves only the reverse...when other gears are tried & when clutch is released the car seems to loose power...my new mech had opened the gear box & has figured out the problem
i have uploaded the pictures & it would be very helpful if someone could guide me with technical name of the part or the part number , & where i could source it from. Thank you.
MB has an online EPC ,which isn't free anymore, but it will show any model, US or Euro (yours is I guess by that motor size) in exploded view with every part numbered.
However, why not order the entire clutch kit which will include the clutch bearing. You would not want to do it again when the clutch plate fails.
While your mechanic is at it, please also take the opportunity to fix the gear selector mechanism especially the bushings which can fail any time at this age. If so look here.

I found more info in the "Other Forum" you posted in, better pictures and the VIN #, really helpful. Having the VIN # I was able to get the right transmission in Mercedes EPC. Your pictures don't show ALL sides of the part, you hand covers the side that faces outside the tranny. But with what I've seen, your part is called the "Interlock Cage". I'm not sure what the PN is for the one you posted, possibly for a Slave Cylinder?
See the Mercedes EPC drawing attached. Interlock PN = A1232600573

Hi ohollenbeck ,you are just awesome. thank you so much for responding with so much information. I am so glad to know the part name & the part number from you. Yes it is the part no 26. The part number i posted was the part number i saw on the back of the interlock cage. As you have rightly mentioned mercedes dubai told me the exact part number what you have mentioned (A1232600573) I was not able to find the part from my local mercedes dealer here in india. so i have placed the order with dubai , hopefully i should get the product within 20 days or so & i hope my car will be back on the road soon. By the way what is this mercedes epc , how can i sign up for this ?

EPC = Electronic Parts Catalog
This is a web based application that may be country specific for use and availability. Here in the USA it was free for many years, but in 2016 they started charging $75usd for a 1 year subscription.
With a valid VIN number, you can look up all the parts for almost any Mercedes. Even without a VIN, it's still possible to look up part numbers by picking a model #.
