The 81 300D has a different setup from the turbocharged models.
If you get the part from the dealer, the firewall bushing/ball joint is around $45-50 last I checked.
Also check the 10mm nut that holds the linkages together, right around the 3rd-4th cylinder area on the linkage. It can get loose over time and cause slack.
