I had a hell of a time getting the header in with this shift rod in place. I have an exhaust leak on #1 and want to fix it easily. Rather than fuss with limited clearance and space, I want to remove the shift rod so I can just unbolt all four ports and re-install in one piece rather than one tube at a time.
How can I remove the rod; hopefully with simple tools.  |

Undo the "ball socket" at the firewall (the ball fitting unscrews from the firewall) and undo the two bolts holding the bracket for the bushing at the rear. You should then be able to maneuver the rod out of the bay. Damn, it's been a long time since I've seen a /4 tail-shift.... |

The bracket in the rear bolts to the transaxle with 2X 10mm nuts that hold the bracket onto 2 studs in the trans case. Slide that bracket forward and lift the rear finger out of the shift lever. |
