This might be a bit "esoteric", but one of those items which DO wear-out. In fact, I JUST replaced the bushing on the W140, which ALSO "disappeared" at 120.000 miles. The symptoms of bushing problems range from a "Clunk" when shifting the Floor shifter, to a "Rattling" noise under the shifter when driving over rough roads. On the W210, you will find the job MUCH easier if you place the Gear Selector in "1st" gear. It advances the shifter arm anteriorly, making it easier to access. The locking spring clip holding the shaft onto the arm--- It is difficult to describe how to remove. You need to "Wedge" open the "Lip" of the clip before you can slide the clip off. I've done it in the past by sticking the blade of a Flathead Screwdriver into the clip to "unlock" it, then remove. Having the special tool always is nice.... :^) Speaking of special tools-- Apparently, some MB tech recently came up with a special tool to install the Plastic Bushing (ZMACK Tools). I think it is pretty easy to just SQUEEZE in with a pair of Chanel Lock Pliers. Hope this helps someone.
