Hi,
The plastic cover for my side shifter linkage is not installed. To install it, I need to separate the shift rod from the shift rod end. Separate #27 from #24 in this diagram... (IMG:http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/Parts/Pedals/shift_linkage_side_big.jpg) Any tips? I have the tapered screw out (#23), but the two pieces seem very tightly joined. I have searched, but most refer to the joint close to the firewall. Will I be able to replace the plastic cover with just this joint removed, or will I need to take off the firewall joint as well. Thanks, Walter |

If all else fails:
Disconnect the the rod at the fire wall. Remove the two nuts that hold the shift console onto the transmission (drain the transmission first or this will do it for you). Remove the console and rod as a unit if you can and then you can work on removing the rod from the selector console. |

Thanks, guys. I am going to try Wobbletop's technique first. Dr. Evil, you answered my unspoken question about unbolting that console casting from the main transmission & oil leakage.
