Did you scan the car?
Any scan results? Preferably xentry scan results?

Have you had the car scanned with a Mercedes-specific scanner?

This appears to be a "thing" with the early R231 shifters as this issue took out the SL550 of another guy who goes to my shop. Last I knew he was still waiting for a shifter to show up in the used market as new ones are NLA.

Hope this is not your issue OP as you may have trouble getting the part.
