Floor shifter, manual trans, W115
Mine broke, just the lever at the base. It's 1969 220D manual with the knob at top on the shifter. Found one from a 71' on eBay, but it's the whole linkage and more than I want to spend. Anyone have one laying around for a reasonable price?

Or anyone know of a jury-rigging option? it must be a common break, that shifter is flimsy as all get out.

Sorry for taking so long, just been busy.
Ended up buying the shifter from the 71' for $65 on eBay. I only found one for a 69', and the guy wanted $700!!! No thanks. Are trim/interior pieces for 115's really getting that scarce?
Anyways, the linkage on my 69' is an "H" pattern with 1st through 4th gears, and you pull up on the floor mounted shifter and put it in 1st gear position to shift into reverse. Although the shifter from the 71' looked nearly identical, it messed up the shifting positions. 1st through 4th gear are the same, but reverse no longer requires pulling the shifter up and is where first gear used to be (the "H" pattern still applies, revers is just at the top and to the left of the "H" now. It's a pain to shift now and requires precision and paying close attention. I'm going to keep using the 71' shifter, just so I can drive my car, but I am still definitely looking for a 69' floor mounted shifter, and would be incredibly grateful if anybody here finds one or has any info on why the 71' shifter is performing differently. Thanks, hope everyone is having a great weekend.

so the three control levers on the underside of the shifters are in different orientations?
my '77 shifter has the same no-lift, far left reverse as you describe. there is supposed to be a big spring which gives you tactile feedback that you are shifting in reverse. i took the spring out from mine (and have a brand new one to unload) and have no problem, but i knew what to expect. if you were missing the spring without knowing it, that sure would be disturbing.
