I have two 300Ds (W123) and both of them suffer from the same ailment. The shift lever is very loose when down in the D, S, and L positions and makes it hard to manually shift back up to S and D. Often if I'm flogging them around a turn in L, I'll have to shift all the way to D to get back to the S position. I was searching for shifter bushings on the parts link (see photos) and am confused as to what and how many parts are needed to competely renew.

I've done a few searches and can't find much information or photos about complete R/R of the shifter bushings on the forum. The W123 CD is of no help either. Can this all be done from inside the car? Do I have to lower the tranny?

Thanks,
