so then I threw her on our mobile motor shifter stand using the custom Nissan Xterra to Lexus GS450h Douglas fir adapter



and here I am shifting it almost perfectly using the hole I drilled for that B&M shifter for the GM TH350 transmission, this was working about 98% flawlessly, perfect cable alignment in Park and Drive, and a little short in Reverse and Neutral ie at the peak of that lever arc, so some adjustments need to be made

FYI the cable bracket is attached using its stock holes to the ground strap bolt hole on the gearbox, and I think it needs to move slightly upwards

Shifter, console and elbow rest…result!

Last Auto I had was a Merc C Class.
It had a really nice shifter and being a C Class it would need to be compact.

Just a thought.

Oh, ha ha, I just meant what year was yours, as per the Wiki there are like 5 generations of these animals spanning over 30 years

Oh right, it was a 2012 W204 but I suspect any year should be similar.

I am just loving the modularibility of this Nissan Xterra center console shifter combo, bless this Nissan engineers for using screws and not those god forsaken plastic clips that get brittle over time and snap right off

meanwhile in the Kitchen Adjacent Stand Alone None Integrated Center Console Refurbishing Facility - KASANICCRF

well this escalated quickly, I'm sure you've all been there
