- If you notice it is hard to move the transmission gear from Park to Drive, or that it is not shifting as easily as before, take it as a warning sign and follow the instructions in this video to replace the little plastic lever inside the shifter assembly before it is stuck in Park and the car has to be towed to a mechanic. This applies to 2000 - 2006 W220 S500, S430, CL500, and 2001-2006 S55 AMG.
Part numbers are 2202679924 (the car in video, 2000 S500) - around $42 from Amazon as of May 2023 - and 2202679724 ($27). Unless you know exactly which to buy, purchase both and return the one that doesn't fit.
In this video, I don't show how to remove the center armrest assembly because I have done it before here:

Thanks for the video. Very detailed which helped a bunch.
You're welcome, Jeff.
My symptoms are different, it doesn't lock in P, but sometimes the gearbox goes into a strange mode while driving. As if it got stuck in one gear and stops switching. When stopping the car, I cannot switch from N to R or P. Only when I turn it off can I switch to P and when I start it again, everything returns to normal for some time. Can anyone suggest what could be the reason?
Great video, quick note, I did this job in my 2005 SL55. In my case the new aluminum lever did not match there plastic one and didn't work correctly. I had to take and file it down to match. So if you do this job try to compare the profile of the new lever to the plastic one.
Thanks, Larry. I gave 2 part numbers and suggested to purchase both and return the one that doesn't fit as an option.
@@masood-tv in my case it was the poor quality of the aluminum part. It was around 1 or 2 mm larger than it should be so the lock mechanism didn't work correctly.
@larrydeem3071 - got it. Thx. Did you source yours from eBay or Amazon?
@@masood-tv eBay it was probably the cheapest one.
@larrydeem3071 thank you, Larry, for the reply. The reason I asked was to be able to answer questions from others in the future. I had ordered both parts from Amazon. The one which didn't fit was slightly different in a couple of dimensions and it too appeared it could be modified to fit an S500. Thx again.
How did you move the pin that you can push in, right above that one screw at the front?
Could you give me the time in the video where the pin appears?
I’m sorry, there wasn’t one on your unit but I have one on my unit. I finally got the shifter out but the plastic lever wasn’t cracked nor broken. Maybe the lever is not the problem. I’m not stuck in park but sometimes stuck in drive.
