I've heard that CLS55 and CLS63 knobs work on our cars, can anyone point me in the right direction on where to find a new one...apart from the delaer?

They do, and ebay.


Had a CLS shift knob in my E55.

Alps

and SL , CLK, all of the above work!

German ebay best for some good deals

german for shifter anyone?

A SLR shifter will also work with fighter pilot flipup and red illuminated "Push to Start" button. Cost is 1600 for the part.

It looks badass!

Pretty straight forward , DO NOT TWIST YOUR OLD SHIFT KNOB OFF!! Lift leather boot turn the black bottom piece under boot to loosen knob located under leather boot then pull your shift knob straight up. Wood panel pops out from ash tray area( front of wood panel with P R N D) black part to twist is the silver one on your new knob . Hope this helps. Try twisting your new silver piece first to see what I'm saying .

I want to wrap mine in alcantara, anyone successfully disassemble one of these?

W211_350WagoN

Yes I did to change wood color. I can post a YouTube Video when I get a chance

that would be awesome. If I could, I would like my steering wheel and shifter wrapped in Alcantara... I think it would be perfect.

Remember twisting only works with no keyless go shifter, keyless go knobs have 2 pins that plug in so twisting will only break those (no good) just give it a nice tug should come off pretty easy after turning the bottom part

Thanks for that, seems straightforward....why do i have a feeling i don't have the right shifter that most use, that silver part seems long.....

W211_350WagoN

I prefer a full wood grain shifter , but have yet to find one if anyone has a burl I'd love to have it!!!

W211_350WagoN

It does seem longer , but see if your black piece fits on that shift, because the shift knob looks the same. It most be from canada or Europe because it doesn't say (engine start/stop) if you need that button (engine start/stop) I have one extra

W211_350WagoN

Btw what does your old shifter look like? Please tell me it's all burl wood

saleen01

yes its a canada shifter im in Toronto.....
no sorry mine is the common all leather keyless go
you think i can remove that bottom silver part?

W211_350WagoN

Yes give it a twist

Do you have keyless go? If not, you could probably get one made in full Burlwood or find another solid wood knob and get it hydrodipped in burlwood

saleen01

will do, update monday...thanks
