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? |

try going thru the access cover (center tunnel, under carpet, at base of back pad). put trans 2nd, vice grip the front rod close to the rear of the access hole, go back under car and see if you can drive the rear rod (rear rod detached at the rear coupler) off of the front one. try to squirt some penetrating fluid in/around where the front goes into the rear rod first. hopefully the po didn't 'fix' things with jb weld.
