Need link to order part in photo!
« on: May 26, 2024, 23:34:59 »
I had the transmission linkage come apart when parking my 230sl with automatic transmission.   I crawled under and found the front plastic bushing was bad but I'm having a hard time locating just that 1 bushing.  The ones I have found don't look right.

  Does anyone know a part number or have a link to the front plastic bushing that connects the shifting rod to the trans. 

I included a picture of a bushing in the full rebuild kit that I believe is the one I need but I'd rather just buy the bushing itself.   

Thank you!

Did you bother to look at this post from a couple of days ago?  The PN for the bushings is in my response.

You will find that soaking the new bushing in hot water and using this tool will make the job much easier:
