ml270 6 speed manual sloppy gear stick - MBClub UK

tjew211 · 30-05-2012, 07:56 PM

My 03 270ml (70k) 6 speed manual is suffering from a sloppy gear stick
I contacted a club member who had the same problem last year and he
was given the advise" no problem removal of centre consul will allow you
access to deffective gear linkage bushing" He informed me that he could not gain access to the linkage after removal of consul or from below and
has put the job on hold until he is getting his clutch done as he reckons
gear box removal is necessary to complete this task.Is there anybody out there who actually knows what is necessary to carry out this work?
Any guidance would be appreciated ( no guessing please!!)
