Kaleb,
I have an 85 300CD that is in need of a working window actuator mechanism.

Does anybody have a shift rod from a 201 sitting around? Im working on
this 190D that had the blown out missing flex disk, and the shift rod is

a 201 thing only.

easiest way is to fit a grease nipple to the hub dust cap and then pump
