On the end of the trans by the tail shift rod is a bracket that bolts on, your shift rod passes thru it right at the rear of the car, one goes there. QUOTE how do i remove the front half? I don't think I did to replace it, I think I just worked it around that 90 degree pivot off and on. QUOTE and how do i change the balls and the ball socket on the bottom of the shifter? -jim The nylon socket just pops off of the ball at the end of the shifter. I removed the ball on the shifter to put on a quick shift kit, I used mapp gas to heat it up and it tapped off. You will epoxy the new one on. |

I have balls of steel...well thats what they say. I thought you were taking about the ball at the bottom of the shifter, that is steel. The cup that fits over it and slips into another cup at the beginning of the shifter rod is plastic. Any industrial epoxy should work, JB? should work. |
