Father-in-law's 740 sedan B230F, 1991.

He has had major play in his shifter (automatic). All works well.
I understand that this issue usually is the linkage washers from the shifter to the tranny, accessible from under the car.

I went to the dealer and asked to get them. Without looking through parts computer he went to the back and brought me two white cylindrical little washer-like thingys with black rubber fittings over them... for two links.
They were cheap, I bought them.

Before getting under the car:

Can I assume he gave me the right parts? Are all these cars/trannys generally using the same linkage joints?

Thanks,
