Shifter moves fine, just can't go into reverse. Doesn't seem to make any
difference if the car's driven 40 miles or if its dead cold.
It *feels* like the lockout isn't opening when I push down on the shifter.
Like on the 240D if I hadn't lifted up on the shifter. I don't understand how
the lockout works and can't see anything in there to give me much clue.

Does the shifter move freely? I had a customer put 90W gear oil in the
trans and when winter came he had to warm the car up for 30-45 min so
he could move the shifter. He said reverse was near impossible.

Near as I can tell. Lookin at the shifter under the boot makes sense too.
Hammie's 4 speed is the same as the Frankenheap. If you looked at the shifter
without the boot theres a groove whatsis and you can actually see the notch, on
Hammie the notch is up, on Dory its down.

These push _down_ to get into reverse? On the Frankenheap you have to
lift up. Just curious, as with any luck I'll soon have one of these
in our 190D.

At my Wal-Mart, 5 qt jugs of M-1 5W-40 T&SUV (when they have it) costs
$21 and a few pennies while qt bottles are $5 and change.
