 Presuming you mean the link rod or drive rod (BMW 61 61 8 361 741) which is number 15 in the diagram.These can and do fall off... About €12+ new and half hour to fit.. Don't bother with a s/h one as it will be damaged by removing.. Kind Regards, Eddie. PS: watch the c-clip when changing - they can and do fly... ------------- BMW & Mercedes Specialist.
