Most likely the linkage and the bushings and clips that make the connections.

There are 2 bushings and 2 clips.

Check any of the online parts places for your car > transmission > shift linkage and shift bushing.

The one on the shifter tang is done under the car and is awkward. You may be able to muscle it in. The other can be done on the bench after you remove the linkage.

Some heat the bushing in hot water to get it to go in easier.

So its the bushings... But now I have a question.. which way does the rod leading to the transmission hook into the gear box? Should it hook in and the point wher the clip will attach be facing U.S. driver side or U. S. Passenger side?

It has been a while since I have done (both w124 and w202) them so can't say for sure.

I'm working on my car this weekend so I can tell you then. Hopefully someone else can chime in sooner.

I put it in facing the drivers side in USA.. I think it wad to face the passanger side
