Transmission Park Switch?

Hey all,

My 87 300D (W124) has developed an annoying problem in that the car will not turn over when the shifter is in park. If I shift to neutral or push the shifter foreward (towards dash) a bit, the car will start normally. I imagine some kind of switch that prevents starting in gear is faulty, but does anyone know where it is and/or how to fix/replace it?

Any help appreciated. Mike

The switch is located at the lefthand side of the gearbox and is kept in place by two bolts . If you loosen those bolts a bit you can turn the switch a littlebit ( in your case clockwise ) and it should be working fine again, succes.
