Mercedes Vito gear change issue 2nd and reverse fix

[@jbone-0-919]

Great video. As a side note to anyone reading this. I fixed my reverse issue by applying a lubricant spray to the area. There wasn’t much grease and the gears were a little stiff. I sprayed a multi purpose lub on and it seems to have worked.

You are a real Hero. I've spent lots of money for these problems. Mechanics replaced lots of parts, never think about the Bush. I can't believe it, its a the simple solution.

[@MikePrice-mg3pc]

Thanks for the video. Made the job quick (40mins?) and simple. In fact I found I didn't even need to fully remove the stick assembly. I didn't disconnect the second ball joint: managed to fit the new bush with that second joint still attached.

[@MrMeltedwellies]

Great to hear Mike

[@steviedoo7673]

I did mine without removing either of the ball linkages. Good video. Next job is to fix the sliding door.

I think i love you. Works perfect 👌 Took me under an hour, Thank you.

[@MrMeltedwellies]

Glad I could help

[@ch41ky822]

@MrMeltedwellies it's an absolute dream to change gear, Someone had clearly had go before and just put a bit of wire around it 🤷‍♀️ Thanks again

[@gerrydavis572]

Great video.gonna have to do this to mine soon. Gear change getting very stiff lately. Meantime I'm gonna spray it with motorcycle chain grease .

[@MrMeltedwellies]

Good luck Gerry

Thanks mate,just saved me from the greedy claws of mercedes. They urged me to buy a whole new gear lever....

[@MrMeltedwellies]

No problem 👍 Harald

[@jeremy_allison]

Thank you so much for the video Mark. It helped a lot! Took an hour or so, worked like a charm. Tight and precise now. 👌

[@owenblackford5442]

Did this. 40 minutes, £20! Great fix.

[@MrMeltedwellies]

Thanks for watching Owen

[@booarch]

yea just dont this with the kit u shared the link to......what a difference....had a little crucnch on 2nd and all works mint now mate.......thanks

[@adrianteper581]

Just had similar problem was tolled it's the clutch so I got the clutch done or did they just do this and lye about the clutch

[@LawnRight]

You make this look so easy! My 2013 vito struggles to get into 2nd gear.. more so in the mornings.. crunching and hard to get in.. plus seems stiff in the movement.. Think Im going to attempt this. What sort of grease did you use to regrease it? Thanks

[@behold2832]

Did it work?

[@BeeIal]

Hi Mark, great video mate you can’t imagine how much it has helped me. Just a question, my vito is a 2002 112cdi 2.2L would that part work for it ?

[@MrMeltedwellies]

I WOULD THINK SO

[@thedamntrain5481]

are you sure yours is a w639? because production started in 2003

[@francescolanteri40]

Bonjour j’ai aussi un vito 109 C.D.I. de 2008 j’ai un problème avec la deuxième vitesse qui craque vous pensez que la pièce que vous changer peut résoudre le problème merci d’avance Francesco

[@MrMeltedwellies]

Hi its worth a try as the part only cost me £10

[@wheelyam01]

Ca peut etre aussi la commande de l embrayage. Je viens de remplacer la piece,bien graisser, mais ca semble pareil

[@iamnotbitter]

Nice one. Thanks to you job done 👍

[@ingojones7404]

Great video good verbal guide, shame I can’t see what you’re doing .

[@nathanlucas6465]

Very helpful vid, thanks :) Just about to order a kit to do mine. Out of noseyness, what sort of mileage had yours done when you did this repair? Mine is well up over 130k, and there's so much play in the stick that when it's in gear it wobbles side to side as much as it does in neutral!

[@MrMeltedwellies]

70k thanks for watching Nathan

[@nathanlucas6465]

@@MrMeltedwellies parts arrived today, sp that's my job for tomorrow morning. I'm hoping that tightening up the stick will also make the reverse lights come on without needing to hold the stick in just the right spot!

[@swaggslide]

This the same on a w638? Got the problem its not going into reverse like 80% of the time

[@jugmohansandhu1567]

Hi is it the same bush for mercedes sprinters? Thanks

[@MrMeltedwellies]

I think so

[@powerkitemad]

Could this be the cause of my second gear crunching?

[@BlueCrow7]

Mine does that.. I had wondered whether it was cables or needed an oil change. Did you try this bush fix and did it work?

[@powerkitemad]

@@BlueCrow7 I haven't tried the bushing fix yet but will report back when I get the time to have a stab at it.

[@eoghanhennessy443]

Mine does go into second properly did you guy fit this

[@StephenBurke-e1m]

Am doing this at the moment. Can anyone tell me how to remove the cup holder/ash tray?

[@carelkruger9545]

Excellent job

[@MrMeltedwellies]

Thank you very much!

[@bastianswe7209]

I have a left-hand drive Vito. We are driving on the right side of the road here in sweden and I wonder if this one fits my car or is it just for right hand drive? Its a Vito 639 and year model 2011.

[@thedamntrain5481]

I know its very late, but yes its the same

[@robertkiss6864]

Link! Pls.

[@behold2832]

Can anyone tell me who had this problem and fixed it with this solution, whether when the bushing was bad, did it crunch into gear? Did this solve that? Thanks.

[@TheDazza2]

I did this today, real easy and fixed the problem
