Shifter Bushings
Got the car serviced a couple weeks ago and my advisor mentioned that the shift bushings needed to be replaced. He quoted me $200 for parts and labor. Below I've attached a link to the part I'm guessing that needs to be replaced...please correct me if I'm wrong. I've also read somewhere we might need two of these parts. How much should labor be for this type of repair? This is for a 99 CLK320. Thanks
