			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 the following 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.
