Linkage issues
« on: May 21, 2024, 19:45:17 »
Hey community, having trouble getting my car into park and have a great suspicion that there is a linkage problem. I also think that bushings have to be replaced as a result. Any idea where I can find bushings to help fix this issue?

What is likely going on is that the engine mounts and transmission mount have compressed and the lever is hitting the transmission support plate.

You can get the bushings from a MB dealer, PN is A1122680150, or from online sellers like Authentic Classics.

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