I did this on my 2000 C280. The symptom was the shift lever felt way too hard to shift into P. Don't remember if there were one or two bushings but it was a pretty routine repair. On my 1991 300CE, there were 2 bushings and one is done by removing the linkage and doing it on the bench with a nut/bolt/washer/socket combo. The one on the drop down tang of the shift lever is more difficult as access is tight. The C280 bushings are green and a little softer material so not as hard to get in. One tip is to put the bushings in boiling water to soften them.
