I took the first step in putting a stick in my car. i went to the pick'n'pull and grabed the shift rods and shirter out of a w116. they just got a nice 240D that has a stick so i'm gonna snag the tranny out of that next weeking i think. anyway, I cleaned up the shift rods, and the arms of the side of the tranny. i'm wondering where i can get the buchings for the arms and the busings that go in the enf od the rods. i took some pics because i'm not sure of the exact names of the parts.

i tryed to look them up on fastlane, but i couldn't find them.

any ideas or do i have to go to the dealer?

there is a metal ring on the inside and the outdide and they are pressed in the arms that go into the transmission.

There must be something i'm missing here, why is it you cant get all the linkage, shifter, the works, from the car your taking the tranny out of, chances are the bushings will be good. What car are you doing the swap into.

the bushings arn't good. thats why i'm asking. if you look in the first picture the bushing is on the left (that is the only one that wasn't broken). there may be good bushings in the 240D, but i'd like to have new rubber when i put it in.

I'm going to put a stick into my 300SD
