get a cheap hand held digital oscilloscope from zyoti for about $60 - you will be able to view and save the exact waveform from the sensor when spinning the wheel

No real need for a scope to do tests on these inductive sensors. That said...i will definetly check out the scope you are referring to..as i do want a hand held one for my tool kit. Have proffesional scopes /diags etc where i work..but a small handheld one would be awesome. Thanx for headsup. Greetings from Norway ,Stefan :)

Hi Stefan, I have a 1998 e200 kompressor with the same gearshift as in this video. My problem is when its in D, the gearbox sometimes dont recognizes that it is in D. So I have to wiggle the shift. In night time I can see when it recognizes D because of the light. When it dont recognize it, the gearbox won’t shift up or down. So sometimes it is stuck in gear 5 and I drive in gear 5 up to speed. Do you know anything about this and maybe what I can do? For now Im looking to change the entire gearshift but maybe there is a less stressfull way of fixing this? Thanks in advance

here is something about the plug that needs to be replaced so here goes: the O rings used by different manufacturers (I am thinking of the cheap knock offs) sometimes ..in my case I suffered the consequences.. come with different sizes, behavior, materials, what have you. In any case, I had done the replacement before and it all went by the numbers. But the last time I replaced the connector it wouldn't go in, I lubed the o rings, and still the connector didnt go in all the way, only after considerable effort it finally popped in. So, unbeknownst to me I managed to bend a pin on the inner connector! Disaster because you just cannot straighten out the bent pin it will break. And then you will be replacing the conductor plate. So, what I am saying is that buying the Febi materials maybe is the better way to go! Good luck!

Hey there. The parts quality these days,are preeeetttyyy poor..so it is even more important today,to do investigative work,before buying parts. When it comes to this particular Febi part,i bought this cause i knew from looking at pictures of this part..that it was the same part as Mercedes sells,when they sell their reconditioned units.Also, Febi is a reboxer..so often the parts that comes in Febi boxes..are actually genuine parts.How they end up at "Febi...i dont know ..but at least it has some level of quality to it.
