Have the Indy take the old shifter off, help him push the car out the door,
have him install new bushings, help him

The shifter is loose and the reverse lockout is gone. The mechanic doesn’t
want to take the shifter apart because it will make the car unmovable unless
you push it. I’d like to get a shifter and rebuild it and then switch them.
The problem is now finding a shifter.

How worn-out? There are replaceable bushings inside the shifter, IIRC.

I have posted photos before of a set of ramps that I made out of 3/4"
plywood. I didn't invent them. They were a plan in a car magazine way
back when. I made a taller set back in the early 70's that I used with a
pickup truck to get it higher. In the 80's or 90's I made another set

One of my favorite things about a 240D is that it'll easily drive up onto a
set of ramps. Mine are also old Sears ramps. To get my Jetta up on ramps

Hi John,
It’s not terribly difficult can you definitely need the car raised up a bit
to get under it. It’s something that’s pretty straightforward on a lift,
so any competent shop should be able to do it if your not up for it. Just
be sure genuine MB parts are used. Lots of shops cut corners

Welcome back John.
Could be bushings, but hard to say. I locked up a manny trying to install
fresh bushings. Should have been more careful about not letting the
transmission end arms move. With wiggly play in the rods, sometimes two gears
can become engaged. I had to secure a fresh working
