Don't know exactly what this looks like but if push comes to shove, could you use a heim joint type setup and make something that was at least as good or maybe even better? Might require a bit of engineering and the assistance of a machinist but shouldn't keep you off the road for long.

My '78 240D needs the control rod that goes from the IP to the auto transmission. The bushing at the auto transmission end has left the premises. Unfortunately, MB no longer makes that part available!! I find it outrageous that MB would stop offering the parts we need to keep their cars on the road! Especially when they make such a big deal about the million mile cars they like to advertise! So now I'm faced with locating a new bushing (I don't even know what it looks like) or a replacement rod . BTW, with the bushing gone, the AT shifts very poorly. late shifts, slipping shifts, no downshifts, etc. no fun to drive like this. I have a copy of the parts page showing the part if anyone might need to see it to understand what part I'm talking about -- will fax if needed Any suggestions??
