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? |

I would try penetrating oil and an easy-out first. This is what the cone screws look like (the pointy end fits into a corresponding tapered hole in the shift rods).

Got off track - had to put a starter in my daughter's BMW - what a chore.
The rear coupler, are you talking about unbolting the shift mechanism from the tranny? Looks like that might give me some more room to work and protect me from harming the tranny. But then that might create new issues. Been trying to ez-out the set screws. No budge. Have to think the nylon stay wore out and some well meaning mechanic used some serious lock tite to keep these babies from coming out. |
