Did you ever get your shift bushings replaced? I've got a 94 C280 with the same problem. I've been studying them for awhile now, but haven't gotten up the nerve to try to replace them. I believe mine are completely gone. Did you order the bushings from Phil as well as a diagram? Any input is appreciated.

Thanks
