Shifter linkage bushings

[dwilli3038]

I tried to replace the bushings in my 4 spd shfter linkage today. But ran into a problem. The bushings I wanted to replace are for the two rods that attache to the plate that is held to the floor with 4 bolts. The bushings I have had a OD of 10MM on the part that should be inserted but the holes in this plate are 13.3 to 13.6MM (depending on where you measure them. The large Bushings for the shifter fit fine. The bushings for this area were missing not just broken but no trace. Do I have the wrong bushing? If so does anyone have the correct part number? Or do I have holes in the plate that are too large.

I would attach a pic but even when my camera is on the least quality setting the file is too large for this site to accept

Daryl .... It sounds like you need #82 and #83 to hold the ball of the shift lever.

Hey Daryl,

It took me a while to figure out the image size thing too.  Just open it in "Paint" the standard Windows accessory.  Then, from the "Image" menu select "Stretch/Skew" and reduce the horizontal and vertical size by the same percentage.  I usually start at 35% and fiddle with it until I get down to the magic number.

MAKE SURE YOU "SAVE AS" A DIFFERENT FILE NAME SO YOU DON'T CHANGE YOUR ORIGINAL FILE!  Ask me how I know.

Daryl,

What you have there seems to be # 97 which is also worth changing while you're in there.

You need 2 off #86.
MB Part # 111 992 0210 (This # is for 230SL < Chassis 14258, later ones are different)

Thanks NAJ. I will replace the 97s I have 4 of them. I did order 2 of the #86s from K&K so hopefully soon I will have it working well
