The gearshift knob on my 2003 S430 is loose and I can rotate it about 1/8" in each direction. Anyone with a quick fix?
thanks

It actually sounds like that it is not inserted all the way in.Originally Posted by Whynot?

Rotate the twist lock (the lower chrome ring at the bottom of the knob) clockwise? don't remember which direction...
Pull the knob off and insert all the way with a bit of force and then tighten it by rotating the mentioned cap the other way until you feel a slight click.
Hope it doesn't have keyless go; then rotating can easily kill the contacts inside.

Two layers of tape did the trick.....
Duct Tape and MB just don't go together, and I bet they get $95 a roll at the dealer.
