My version of that would be such:
(new modification for easier use)
2" 1/4-20 bolt
1" or 1-1/8" fender washer
1" PVC cap with hole drilled for 1/4 bolt
1/4-20 nut
Instructions:
place fender washer on bolt followed by new shifter bushing. Slide bolt
through bushing opening on the shifter arm. Place PVC cap and 1/4-20
nut onto end of bolt to create a sandwich around the shifter arm. The
idea is that tightening the bolt/nut will push the bushing into the arm.
The PVC cap creates space where the bushing can be pushed by
straddling the opening.
Is that more clear?

I made one using a short (1/2" or 3/4") length of 1" PVC pipe, some

I'm having a bit of trouble picturing this without more details...

I can't link to the actual page, but if you go to Baum Tools and choose
Mercedes for the make, "All" for the section and use "bushing" for the tool
name, it will come up first in the search results.

AHA! Now why did nobody tell me that existed when I had to change mine
last summer? I did it with two pairs of Harbor Freight bent-top
needle-nose pliers and a LOT of swearing, but I can see how it would be a
cinch with the right tool.
Here is the direct link to the picture, BTW, but you will have to go
through Dan's link to get the part number:
