Gilly,

I cannot remember what it's like under my W124's... as it's been a while for the bushings. The W123's I'd just take the piece off the transmission and it's only a minute with a socket & a vise to install.

I was thinking the tool might make getting the one off the shift lever next 2 the driveshaft easier. I've pried them in using some boards.. to lever- goes in pretty easy as I remember- but never fun. I was always hoping to purchase a tool and make it easier. Seems like if it saves 2 hrs in labor to purchase a $40 tool- all the shop techs would have it? Last time I was at a shop a few weeks ago.. I asked one of the older guys what his tool looked like. He couldn't find it and was pissed... guess it someone had borrowed and not put it back.
