Can't get out of first gear with 2008 GL450. Happened suddenly as I was pulling it out of the driveway. Parked it immediately and is this something that can be corrected on my own or should I have it towed to a MB mechanic?

 

Part inside the shift as broken ,you can get an alloy replacment .Other thing it can be is the service brake light switch broken . Both can lock up the shift .

 

thanks, that is exactly what happened I believe the service light has been on! Will have it towed in to the repair shop nearby anyway. Just to be on the safe side. Thanks for responding.

 

BP2 let us know please, how you get on wont you .
