If your shift lever feels loose or is rattling, that is an almost sure sign that a bushing (or both)on the transmission shifting lever or the console shifter has disintegrated and fallen out. New replacement bushings are cheap, but just try to get one installed in on some of the levers on some up alongside the transmission tunnel or below the shift lever itself. Due to the age of these cars, the bushings are now failing at an alarming rate. It is much better to replace them BEFORE they fall out! Watch the YouTube video below. Kent will explain the challenges in dealing with different bushings and how the different tools in this kit are used. Ryan will explain how much time and grief you can actually save by using these tools.

DISCLAIMER: This WILL NOT work on any 7 speed 722.9 transmissions. If you have a 1996 to 1998 or a 2003 to 2006 model you must check your bushings before ordering. We cannot determine exactly which bushing or bushings are used on which end of the shift rod on every model. Looks like Mercedes tried to really mix it up. Since we can not guarantee that the two bushings will work in every model during those years we ask that you check before ordering this kit.
Green bushing measures: ( In the groove) 15.4 mm OD, 9.46 mm ID, width 9.90 mm
