One of the more frustrating things on my 190D was rebuilding the shifter...

I got Delrin bushings off a guy from 190REV and set about cleaning and rebuilding. The first time I was told to use antiseize (by the bushing guy) to lubricate the shifter. That turned dry and tacky within a year, so I removed the shifter and did it all again recently when I replaced the clutch. This time I used white Lithium grease, and it's fantastic. Don't use too much in the center reverse lockout plunger or it'll hydrolock and get jammed.
