So the car needs 2 of these bushings? Looks like I'll just make the tool
with a bolt and socket and washers like in that posting.
Amazon has Febi bushings for $4.70 and I can get free shipping, can Dr. Fatty
beat that? I might as well order enough to do 3 cars.

I'm pretty sure the 'socket' tool will only work if the linkage has been
removed from the car.
Hence the plier tool, which will work with linkage on car.

Take the extra cash and buy one of those fancy pliers they use to install
these. Well worth the expense if you've ever done this job.
I would liken them to my Hazet drain wrench. Best $50 I ever spent, even if I
only use it a few times a year.

You have to pay close attention to the details.
They only cost that if you want the free installation tool and the
free shipping to Australia.

If you watch the video of Kent on Mercedessource and look at the photos
of the ones that he sells, you will note that they appear to have taken
a pair of long handled needlenose pliers, cut the ends off and welded a

I have no personal experience, never having owned an MB with a manual
transmission, but I have heard that synthetic is not always good in
manual boxes that were not designed for it as it is too slippery and the
synchros don't work as they should.
Now I am sure someone will argue with that

There was a period of using 30 weight. I think it was two years, while there
was a transition from one formula of ATF to another. Gump used ATF, Mobil 1.
The manual called for oil, but the years prior to 72 and after called ATF

Not nit-picking, but it is easier to check the linkage bushings. no
plug to pull for that. However while you are there, unless you have
