Something's loose under shifter (208)?
When parked and shifting from Park to Drive or from any position to another causes a short rattling-clunking sound from just under the console cover plate that sounds as if there is a high-density plastic collar around the shift arm just below the cover plate that has come loose. Everything still functions fine but the sound has me a bit worried since sounds seldom get better on their own. Any ideas guys?

Found that too through some research. I just ordered a bushing and 2 retaining clips in the dark. Autohaus had it for .77. I figured it was a worth a shot.

Used on most late Mercedes models with either automatic or manual transmissions. Please verify appearance of existing bushing prior to ordering.
Also need 0009944160 clip. 2 per car. $1.90
