I've seen threads that mention that the plastic cup snaps onto the ball of the ball pin, but how does one remove it without breaking it? I need to transfer it to another tranny, but I don't know exactly how to pry if off the existing tranny without damaging it. Did a search, but found nothing.

If it can be arranged, heating it in some hot water can soften some of this plastic, but it may be easiest to just purchase another one.

I am lost
What is a ball pin?

All the plastic bushings will come out and can be transferred.

The ball pin is the metal arm with the large ball on the end of it that is attached to the shaft that exits the transaxle housing inside the shift console. There is a plastic cup that apparently snaps over the ball and then there is a metal sleeve with cone screw that slips over the plastic cup and connects the long shift bar that goes forward through the rear console and continues forward to the firewall bushing.

Hot water works, but if yhere is any wear or deformation you can get slop. At $3.20 why risk doi g the job 2x.

Use an open end wrench to lever it off.
You'll have to cobble a fulcrum.
If it survives..... buy a spare anyway
