Trish, the problem is that the 126 (with the cable) used a different transmission than what you have. Certainly, the differences between the 116 transmission and your old one is the geometry of the control cable, and your 116 transmission SHOULD have a vacuum modulator. (You wrote earlier that the original transmission from your car did not have a control rod? That is surprising, and not good....)
The Automatic Transmission section in the Haynes book for the 123 diesels has several diagrams of the various control rod set-ups. Were it me, I would study those diagrams, then bend or cut and reweld the 116 control rod to make it work. Then, play with the length adjustments to get it to shift juuuuuust right. (This is an IMPORTANT adjustment, as the life of the transmission can be seriously affected.)
Really, the original control rod from your car, along with most of the rest of your original throttle linkage, SHOULD have been the basis from which to have set this all up.

Waht is the difference between the 123 & 116 in reference to the trans? Kevin noticed that in some pics there is a cable instead of the rod. Can he just switch to the cable? Can he bend the rod to make it fit past the firewall? I think I know that answer.
