Replacing the firewall and shiftrod bushings. PO stripped out the set screws 20 years ago and left the project undone. I am drilling out the set screws but the linkage is locked together at both set screw locations (rear and firewall).
Any suggestions on getting this linkage apart? |

you might try shifting into a forward gear (like 2nd) and wedging something between the shift coupler and the firewall then pull the shift lever back to a rear position (like 3rd) to get the shift coupler off. i think thats how i did mine...as for the back, wedge something so you wont put pressure on the shift forks and use a long punch and a hammer with a little tapping and maybe some heat and penetrating oil.
