Then don't whine to Valk in the future if you do not like any of my posts like you did before. Apology not accepted! Nobody cares or needs a history less on how Mercedes creates their part numbers. People only care what the part number is when they need a part. Don't forget to say like usual, that this shifter is used in thousands of other cars and you can just buy it off the shelf somewhere. Lol

You are not being clear at all. I provided the correct part number for the SLA which you did not, no idea what you mean by an "assembly number." You don't even know by now that the first letter in any Mercedes part number is to be ignored which most people already know. The part number stamped on the SLA is not a valid part number on any dealership website or even the official MbUsa parts website. It might just be for the plastic itself or for internal use only and there is another part number on the SLA which isn't a valid part number either. I have an extra SLK320 and Crossfire shifter. Mentioning the Crossfire part number is pointless since yes it is discontinued and even if it was in stock the price would be extremely high. Chrysler has 2 part numbers in their system, the Chrysler part number and corresponding Mercedes part number which is either an actual valid Mercedes part number or starts with 193 (Crossfire specific part).

I am no longer replying to this thread.
