2005 SL500
Shift Knob Compatibility

Hi everybody,

I'm looking to replace my 2005 SL500's shift knob with a chestnut wood knob. I'm currently considering the following shift knobs that were intended for the S-Class W220:

1999-2003 MBZ W220 S430 CHESTNUT BLACK LEATHER SHIFT GEAR KNOB
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-2006-SCHATZ-MBZ-W220-C215-CHESTNUT-SHIFT-GEAR-KNOB-/131180485124?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e8af75a04
Could anyone let me know if either of these would work with my SL? Thanks so much for your responses!

Best,
Matt

Chestnut wood gear shift lever

Wouldn't you rather have the original that fits the R230?

It comes with or without keyless go.










Here's the web adress:

Thanks so much for your reply! I would like to get the closest to stock as possible. The two I linked to above were the best I could find. I have chestnut with black leather - do you have any idea where I could find one?

Best,
Matt

Thanks for your reply. I still don't seem to be able to find any part number or way to purchase this elusive item. That said - does anyone know if a W220 shift knob (or similar generation CL) will fit my car? At least I can locate and purchase those shift knobs. Thanks again for all your help!

Best,
Matt
