Erick, thanks. So with your video and looking closely at the parts as I remove the old one, it'll make sense to me? ...like that detachable front prong, that the video doesn't show the details of your removing/reinstalling it? --David

I just spilled an ice tea over the sifter , then I am charging my phone turn on the ignition for 3 hours. I can't start the car now. I thought is only the battery weak. After charging it. The ignition key turn but do not crank ,the gear stuck , so I poked it in neutral trying to start , but can not. The fuses , relay everything are ok. Is my steering Clk 430 in the locked position ??? I am frustrated and please help me solve the problem. I am scared to spend money going to a mechanic. Thanks.

ramos ochoa if you spilled a good amount of liquid on the shifter, yes that’s the problem, first buy yourself a cheap scanner from Harbour Freight and scan your codes, you probably have P0705, then follow the procedure in this video and pull the shifter out, buy 2 or 3 cans of Electronic Contact Cleaner and spray your shifter, make sure it is dry and install it and clear the codes. Hope for the best this cures your problem if not you have to swap the shifter, buy an eBay unit less than $200 and install it. So if your shifter can be saved you are looking less than $50 if not it is still less than $200. Hope this helps.

Thanks Halil Cakir for your best advised. :) I already towed the car home. By the way , I owned an Clk 320 too. The 320 runs perfect. :) As I listened and learn about Electronic Steering Lock , EIS , the key position. . And Emulator , fuse checked , relay. I even try to maybe knock and bang the starter. What I haven't done is get a FULLY CHARGED battery. I am charging my battery to full charged and plan to put it on before I open and clean the sifter and put it back. My question again , I don't really know about the Mercedes Benz. On the Japanes Car the Automatic gear had a PRND12 . Of course you have to press the brake to start the car. Has to put in Park or Neutral to start. Sometimes the switch is bad , need to move it up and down before start. :) In this Video. I don't really see the switch..or electronic , so the The whole piece of the sifter come out , maybe the electronic coponenent or connection inside not working because of the spilled. Thanks for the video , I am very blessed to see this. Saved me from spending money. One day , I press the button of Screw and tools by the box. The SOS and light blink , gear stuck , can't start. told me to see the dealer. After one day unplug the battery , back to normal. :) hope I can do it. It looks simple , but haven't try it. Thanks again. :)

ramos ochoa yes that points out to an issue with the electronic part of the shifter, if it works one day and not working the next day yes that’s the shifter, also when you take it apart make sure your shifter bushing is good and have a good connection between the shifter and the rod to transmission. You don’t have to press the brake pedal to start the car but you definitely need to press it when you changing gears between PRND

Does anyone know the tool or socket sizes to remove the assembly? It kind looks like a torx bit with a dot in the middle

The key move ok in every position , it seems the car don't recognize the key. , just won't crank. I had tried to disconnect the battery. Still not ok. Please advised me. Thanks.

Hi Erick, based on your instruction the change was done in less than one h. Thank you this. The car is still not running. It es not start, nor can I put it from P in any other position. Is was told I need to recode the shifter matching my car. Did you, by any chance, experience the same?

My shifter bushing it’s missing and I am installing a new one soon . It’s seems the car it’s stuck on gear 1-2-3 and doesn’t accelerate above 30 miles per hour . Does the shifter bushing effect the speed of the car ? Thank you to all of you

No the bushing just avoids the clunky noise from metal but has nothing to do with the actual shifting.

I just bought one of these with 122k miles for ridiculously cheap because of limp mode. He said the rain got in the shifter and never worked right again. Should this fix it?

@eramire5

DjDestinyChicago most likely yes. These shifters are very sensitive to any kind of water spills. A Mercedes mechanic with the right computer can reset the computer and get it out of limp mode but if it goes back to it again then you can try this and it should fix it.

Cezar Fuccile your problem is not with the shifter, p0715 is a generic code for the tcm having problems with communicating to the transmission p0700 is simple a code that there is an error with your transmission or tcm ... my advice is disconnect the two plugs on your tcm and check for traces of oil or take the tcm out by pressing two tabs on both sides and turn it upside down and watch if any oil comes out if so then you simply have one of the most common problems which is a leaking 13 pin connector you can get the seals on it replaced and try using brake cleaner to clean your tcm and see if it works well if it does then give about a month or two and get the tcm cleaned again as left over oil in the harness will sip in but if it doesn't help and you did see oil in your tcm then I'm sorry you would need to get your tcm either fixed or replaced you can fix it your self as most commonly what fails after tcm flooding is a capacitor on the top left corner of the tcm
