Manual valve bracket connector

[Phil Harrison]

Hi, I'm not new to this forum I used to ask questions years ago but got a bit bogged down with it all. Television was a member and a great help back thenhe lived in Lyme Regis and I had the pleasure of meeting him at his house one time when I had a problem with an ignition switch. I have owned six S210s, two W123 coupes, a W124 saloon, a w124 coupe and a W210 saloom in the past 20 years so I am a bit of a Merc nut. I have always maintained the cars myself, something I am quite proud of and something I have really enjoyed.
Currently I am enjoying a 2002 S210 320 CDI 7 seater, these are fantastic cars they just keep giving. Unfortunately I have a gear selector problem with this car. I dropped the gearbox sump pan and found the plastic manual valve bracket connector had broken. This part has a part no. of A140277054 and is unavailable from Mercedes Benz as a piece only a whole 722.6 transmission valve block. I think the part no. is correct but very difficult to read, according to an American website it is called a 'Manual Valve Bracket Connector'. Does anyone know where I can find this little piece of plastic please, I really want to get the car back on the road. Many thank
Phil.

Thank you, hope someone can help, it seems ridiculous you can't buy a part from Mercedes that has a part number on it.

Hi, thank you. Here it is as you can see there is a piece broken off of it.

Your best bet would be a Mercedes breaker with a faulty 722.6 transmission that they'd be prepared to open up for you.

I was looking at the possibility of 3d printing it but it looks a bit complex without having the broken one and also quite difficult.
As suggested I'd call around breakers yards looking for a knackered transmission to get the part out of.

Just Google "Mercedes breakers" and take it from there.

You could also try an automatic transmission specialist.

Hi, thank you, my wife had suggested 3D printing so I am looking into that, I've been in touch with Dunnings Automaticsc at Weymouth who may have a scrap box so am going to see them on Monday plus I am in contact with Newco Autoline in Germany who have them in there stores. I'll keep you informed and onceagain thank you.
