I've done these from below on my 126; it was a dirty job and I lost a spring clip. On a 123 I used to own I did them from above and that was actually easy. But in that case I needed to remove the shift lever assembly anyway (to replace another bushing) so maybe that's why it seemed so easy.

Get them, then pull the lever off the tranny and replace the bushing, then put the lever back on WITH the shift rod installed, you will mangle your hand otherwise. Getting the bushing into the shift lever is a real pain if you don't have a lift, as you must use some channel-lock type pliers and there isn't room lying on your back under a jacked up car.
