This is for a genuine Mercedes Bowden cable in very good condition. The adjuster piece(white polymer threads) is a new modern replacement. The rest of the cable has age related wear including scrapes and scuffs. You will need to get a new o-ring. This cable is for 1981-1984 W123's and the W126 300SD using this type of cable with an OM617 turbo diesel engine. If you are just now looking for one of these cables they have been discontinued for decades. Part sellers online keep their listings active to get you to visit their site. No one actually has these cables and they haven't been able to get one since the late 90's. Note that there are variations of these cables/applications. Compare yours to be sure. On this cable the end that installs into the transmission is completely round without any protrusions sticking off the side of it. The white adjuster piece has a hex shape at the base for a 12mm wrench. Be sure that this matches your application. The 126 part number is correct for the W123 turbo diesel. The o-ring that you want for this is part number 0169970448. Maybe check with a Mercedes dealer to compare prices. 126 300 1730 126 300 17 30 Shifter detent kickdown passing cable Free shipping in the U.S. If there's a problem let me know and I'll work with you.
