Do you mean the 3-position solenoid on top of the transmission?
If so, that part number is: 000 304 0290 and it may still available from Mercedes.

Possibly the switches that activate the constant speed solenoid?

I mean the hexagonal looking small switches on the side of the transmission. One on either side.  One for forward and one for reverse.
It looks something like the pic here, though I don't think this is for the W113 because it said 300SE in ebay.

The piece I've circled here. 
I just found that the part number of the one on Ebay is the correct number from another forum in this site.  So I just bought one.  Now I need one more.. Any help?

Thanks.

The pressure switch number I used for my 111 is #001-542-13-17. I believe they are the same for either drive or reverse and probably the same for a 113 (check first). I bought mine from the Classic Center in Irvine abot two yeras ago.

Thanks.. I think it's the same part number.  I am in Thailand and don't know how to contact your source.  Can you give me their contact address?

Just google the Mercedes Benz Classic Center. There is one in Germany and in Irvine California. Not sure which is best for you.

The link for the Irvine store is:

AFAIK those switches are NLA and are getting hard to come by second hand too.

Thanks, I just entered the part number at the link above and got none available.  And, there's nothing on the 113 chassis that can be looked up on their site either.  Seems to skip the entire 113 althgether.  Maybe I need to call them.

Have you tried getting access to the MB EPC? I am at my Mac and EPC is only accessible through a PC. It is an excellent resource and look up for MB parts. Here is the link http://epc.startekinfo.com/epc/

Not sure if you can purchase anything given your location, but it should be able to help with parts and part numbers.

Good luck.

Thanks I'll check it out.  If they have a store that ships worldwide, I can order.  If they only ship to US address, I'll find a US address for them.
I'm just wondering why MB would let a part become unavailable, and especially on a part used to make the car perform normally.
Thanks again.
