1966 230S Trans linkage woes

So I finally pulled the ole finnie out of the garage for the first time!!!! She was purring like a kitten. It felt great. When I was pulling out I heard a *ting* and thought a wrench fell on the ground. When I went to put it in park she was still moving forward. I shut her down, threw some chocks under the front tires and saw that the *ting* was actually the trans linkage..... Grrrreeeeaaatttt........... So now I need to know where I can find the bushing that goes into the linkage and I also noticed that where the bar hooks up to the trans there isn't a pin for the bar to hook onto??? I looked on Phil's site but with no luck. I'm gonna call the dealer tomorrow to see what they have. I can't wait to actually take it on a real maiden voyage. The cruise around the block in second gear was fun though
