I have this really annoying rattle coming from under my gear shift lever on my W124 300CE. It only happens when I make a right-hand or left-hand turn - sounds like a big nut is rolling from side to side inside my shifter. Sounds like something is loose...

I looked under the car and am wondering if it could be coming from the very noticeable slop in the shift rod - it looks like the white, plastic bushing is gone (the clip is still there, but no bushing). Is this possible? How many of these bushings should there be on the shift rod??

Thanks,
Ryan
