manual 240D shifting
our 83 240D sometimes hangs up when shifting from first to reverse. it happens if you "cut the corner" of the shift pattern - the shifter sticks and the car stays in first. if you keep to the L shape of the pattern while shifting - no problem.
the shifter bushings are in good shape. overall, shifting is good, though it seems like it's a long throw from first to second and from third to fourth. was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. |

Check the shifter rod lengths. If it's not fully released from a gear, it can't go into another.

there is a plastic bushing that is shaped like abe lincoln's top hat. if it is loose this might be a result. replacing it requires the removal of the shifter from the car, i believe, but once the shifter is out it is a simple job.
