I had a hell of a time getting the header in with this shift rod in place. I have an exhaust leak on #1 and want to fix it easily. Rather than fuss with limited clearance and space, I want to remove the shift rod so I can just unbolt all four ports and re-install in one piece rather than one tube at a time.
How can I remove the rod; hopefully with simple tools.  |

Undo the "ball socket" at the firewall (the ball fitting unscrews from the firewall) and undo the two bolts holding the bracket for the bushing at the rear. You should then be able to maneuver the rod out of the bay. Damn, it's been a long time since I've seen a /4 tail-shift.... |

The bracket in the rear bolts to the transaxle with 2X 10mm nuts that hold the bracket onto 2 studs in the trans case. Slide that bracket forward and lift the rear finger out of the shift lever. |

Is there any bushing or sleeve/washer that I should replace since "I'm going in there anyways"?

I've got the rear linkage undone so the rod is hanging and moving around.
At the firewall....there is no connection. The rod elbows into the ball socket and the socket piece disappears into the firewall. I need some more direction here. thx |

The pivot ball stem unscrews from the firewall. Like joe said. Replace the rear carrier bushing and examine the pivot ball on the stem. If you uncouple any of the rods index your current settings with a fine tip sharpie at the connection points. Look at the linkage illustrations in your Haynes.

So do i unscrew the entire rod?
Still confused. Here is a diagram. How do 46 and 50 connect? the ball is loose? Is 51 holding it in?  |

#51 IS the stem. The stem is threaded on the firewall side and it screws in. A plastic ball is pressed on it. That stem ball has no # in the diagram. It is the same item as #53. there are 2 of them. To do it right you will also need #6, #34x3 and inspect your shifter assem off the car. 3 bolts and it lifts out. You have to do this for #6 anyway. #13 is key and is worth the minor cost if yours is worn. It can make a HUGE improvement with regards to 1&R. examine the shift lever at the point #13 contacts the lever for wear/cutting. Clean all the gunk off of the inside of the shifter base. Do it ALL! Really. Spare yourself major frustration. Doing it piece meal and you're taking stuff apart newmerous times. It gets old. Quickly. Go to our favorite part retailers and see what they offer. If a 'complete' kit is offered get one.
