Just put my auto transmission back in my car and adjusted the gear selector only to have the rubber bushing turn to dust. Now it rattles and I can't get it in L, first and second gear. My favorite spot for around town driving. Any ideas on the part number? Also, where might I find the arm that runs from the trans to the selector?

Just replaced my bushing. It is a very tight/pressed in fit and it was easiest to remove the shifter from the car, use a vice and sockets to press the bushing in, and reinstall the shifter. I assume you are working on a W123, here is the part:

The linkage rod I think will need to come from the junkyard.
