I do not envy you if you rebuild that shifter. I just rebuilt the one for my parent's 240d. The auto shifter is a BREEZE compared to the 4spd. This one has two cupped spring washers, plus two flat washers that you have to get into place, then align in order to insert the main shifter rod.

So, if you're going to take it apart to replace the main "tophat" bushing, go ahead and look at EPC, get all the rest of them. There's a trapezoidal one, then a nylon plug that sets inside the rod assembly. Also a dampening bushing that fits around the lever shaft...


Yeah, I spent about $45 on parts for the rebuild. But it feels brand new and I won't have to take it apart for a while.
