Tim

Where'd you get the shift gate and the knob and how much?

Thanks!

Timster · 12-30-2002, 10:27 AM

The wife got it from Oberklasse accessories,
$140.00 for the knob and about $200.00 for the armrest.
I like the knob, still getting use to the armrest.
Still waiting for the door handles.

Yeap, Got the shift gate from them to, but I've seen them on e-bay for about $40.00

Thanks again Tim! That shift gate really looks tempting! I'll check around e-bay for that.

tim what kinda material is that for the knob and armrest?

Sleestack · 01-02-2003, 06:37 PM

I have that armrest and am replacing it with the wood trimmed leather armrest. Although it lloks good, I found that it was way too slippery to serve as an armrest during driving.

The knob is Chrome with Black Birds Eye Maple (possible veneer).
The knob is easy to remove just loosen the lower plastic portion by twisting it clockwise and turn the knob a 1/4 turn and pull up.

The Armrest is Black Birds Eye Maple veneer on plastic. The armrest just slips over the stock armrest. It has two strips of double sided tape but I haven't used them yet, still trying to decide if it's worth it or not.

Tim, Those add ons look great. I am thinking of geeting the same for my CLK55. Please post when you have installed the door handles/pull.

Do you know how to take the original ones off?

thanks...

F1vu,
I haven't received the door handles yet.
I will document the process and post it. Could be awhile though, the handles are on back order.

To remove, I used a clip remover to get under an edge and popped them off. The clip remover just made the job easier to do. You really just need to get some leverage on an edge and it will pop off. To install, you simply line up and give it a sharp push.
