what part of the tunnel?
you should be able to lift the little plates and get a hand in there, or remove the shifter. if it is furter back in the firewall, then try and push the new one through towards the shifter, where you can get a hand in to remove the old one. |

IT's actually stuck in the firewall area. I can't push it. But I'll take apart the shifter and see if I can find it there. Thanks for the heads-up!!! |

I'm not really a rodeo clown, I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sorry, I have not had all the plates off over the tunnel, I thought perhaps you could access it closer to the firewall.
How about a roto rooter deal, or is the tube too small for that? Maybe a guitar or piano string? I chucked a guitar string into an electric drill, threaded it into the sheath on a bug, spun the drill and withdrew to pull a stuck sheath out of a beetle one time |
