[C320-list] Gear shift lever problem

[David Veeneman]

I need some advice about fixing the shift lever on my C320—it won’t shift into forward. Neutral is where forward used to be, and reverse is where neutral used to be. That suggests to me that the lever linkage has slipped on the cable or rod that controls the transmission.

Here are my questions: It this something that an owner can easily fix, or would I do better to leave it to a mechanic. If anyone has done this job, can you outline for me what it takes to do it?

Thanks in advance for your help.
