Removing
1. Unscrew and remove the shift lever yoke bolt on the bottom of the shift lever. The bolt is accessible through holes on the side of the plastic shift lever support housing.
2. Unscrew the bolt from the fork on the swivel joints and disconnect the rod from the angle arm.
3. Slide the rubber cover off the rod and remove the rod into the passenger compartment, while removing one of the front seats.
4. Raise the front of the car and secure it on stands.
5. The angle arm and swivel are mounted on the control shelf cover. To remove the assembly, disconnect the yoke from the end of the link and disconnect the links from the ball joints.
6. Remove the head from the bellcrank pivot bolt, unscrew the bolt and remove the bellcrank assembly.
7. Inspect all linkage components for wear or damage, paying special attention to pivot point bushings, and replace worn parts as necessary.
Installation
Installation is in the reverse order of removal, while applying a small layer of grease to the baffle O-ring to facilitate installation of the rod through the O-ring. Check that the O-ring has not moved during the installation of the rod.
