Gear Stuck in Park...CRAP!
so I have a 2002 S class, noticed that within the last several weeks changing gear into D seemed a bit 'stiffer' but thought nothing of it. this morning I tried to drive to work and it was stuck in P...came onto this forum and did a quick search and sure enough it is a common problem....browsed through the threads but didnt really understand what I should do at this point...do I go through mercedes or go get a mechanic to take away the broken plastic piece?
any input would be great thanks!

If you don't do it yourself, you can have an indy do it. You can obviously also have the stealer do it (more $) but they replace the entire shifter and you end up with the same potential problem as it will have the same plastic part that will probably break soon or later. My stealer wanted $1000. for the job. Someone who's familiar with the problem and has previously done the job could do it in a couple of hours. Good luck.
