From what I've read this pin shown in the picture is suppose to press out. I guess many have used a vice for a press. I destroyed the old bushing with this method and got it out, but the pin won't budge and looks to be one piece to me.
Am I missing something or do I just need to take it to a mechanic with a press?  |

Thanks for all the responses. I wimped out and took the shift rod to a mechanic. He pressed out the pin and pressed it back in with the new bushings for $5. Just drove it around the block, but I think this may be the best the shifter has ever felt.
