Ok, I have the rattling gearshift knob and the other problems associated with the shifter bushings going south. I just wanted to double check, are these the parts that I need? It's listed as part 7 on the list, (27-008).

One of my earliest posts here concerned a homemade method of fixing the rattling shifter on my '84 300D.

Check on ebay - I just picked up a kit for the 123 and 126 trans. shifter bushing replacement. It has detailed instructions on how to replace as well.
Do a search under "mercedes bushing" or bushings (can't remember now what I typed to find it) on ebay.
