I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ANSWERED MY QUESTION AND TRIED TO HELP ME ON THIS FORUM. BOTTOM LINE IS I DON'T KNOW WHAT IM DOING YET. I DID REMOVE THE SHIFTER KNOB BY UNSCREWING IT . I USED A RAG WRAPPED AROUND THE KNOB AND LOCKED ON VISEGRIPS AND UNSCREWED IT. THE PARTS MANUAL PICTURE WAS MISLEADING AS IT DID NOT SHOW ANY THREADS ON THE END OF THE SHIFTER ROD. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP,YOU KNOW WHO YOUR ARE, SOMEDAY I HOPE I CAN THANK YOU DIRECTLY IN THE FORUM.
