Thanks guys...

Is your shift lever loose/sloppy also?

In the w124 chassis there are two nylon shifter bushings, one at the shift lever/linkage connection and one at the tranny/linkage connection. They disintergrate over time and in my car there was the rattle under load and a sloppy shifter. I replaced both from underneath the car. An easy fix. Plenty of threads on this topic. Try searching under "loose shifter".
Glenmore, the shifter feels quite tight but I will be more aware today when I am driving. Next time the car is on the hoist, I will check the linkage on both the tranny and shifter. So you can still change the shifter linkage from below, eh? I did a search but used "C36 rattle" so I will try "loose shifter"

I replaced the shifter bushings and still have a rattle. The shifter is firm but still rattles when under load. I have to move the shifter over to temporarilly stop the rattle. Any suggestions?
I will see if I can move the shifter and if it changes the rattle or stops it, I will post back. Take care!
