Our technician Steve has been working away on the gorgeous 1967 Mercedes 250SL ‘Pagoda’ that we currently have in our workshop. The car had reportedly developed a knocking or clunking sound which was isolated to the selector rod hitting the gearbox mount due to excessive play in the mount itself.

Steve swapped out the old perished mount, which tightened everything back up and allowed the selector rod the clearance to operate fully and freely.
