1984 300TDT shifting linkage adjustment

I unthinkingly started to unscrew the shifting linkage on top of the valve cover before removing the valve cover for adjustments. (1st time on OM617 engine) I quickly realized my folly but too late. All is back together but shifting is quite out of whack! How do you properly adjust that? I have tried to return it to where the "dirty" part of the linkage meets the connection. That made it work better, but initial startup from a stop is painfully SLOW! TIA for all your helpful responses!

'74 240D 115 Motor Mounts (w/AC)

Today I received my right motor mount and install instruction. Thanks for the timely shipping.

I have the left motor mount on order with MB. My understanding is that the left motor mount is much different in shape and install.

The instuctions do not cover the install of this left mount. Do you have any additional tips, or suggestions for this mount install?

Thanks in advance.

Engine idles with a miss that goes away at 1000 rpm. Pulls good from 1000rpm
Have replaced injectors, timing chain looks good. Pulling the fuel line from each injecter causes a diffinent miss. Fuel filters new. Ran good till 1 injecter frooze.

Found problem. I replced the rack adjustment bolt, reset according to the instructions you include with new bolt and vola, smoooth idle. Thanks again.
