Shifting gears require force


Recommended Posts

Greetings folks!! I really hope the experts/car enthusiasts on this forum can help me out. I have a problem with my 2004 S350 Mercedes Benz. After starting the engine when I try to shift the gear from P to R or other gears, I have to use extra force to move

the gear stick. It is called the selector lever in the manual. I do not think the problem is due to low transmission oil as there is no

indication of any malfunction on the dashboard. This is the most expensive car I have ever bought and I absolutely love it. I hope this is not a major issue. Please advise.

Hi guys,

Not to sound too technical but ... This is a common problem on the S Class which occurs because of the P lock solenoid in the gearshift module - sadly the module is only available as one complete unit and must be replaced as the complete gearshift. It also requires coding after it is fitted in.
