Reply to "SHIFT LINKAGE UPDATE"

I see that in your pictures it appears that your linkage has probably already been redone with pin joints. Check to see if they are tight. They have to be really tight as the wear in the four joints accumulates for a lot of play.

If you can get the joint on the ZF shifter rod loose, then remove the bolt/pin from the shift lever. This will allow you to move the end of the linkage at the back to the right and slide it completely out of the car after you unbolt your heims joints that are bolted to the frame. They provide the stability for the shaft between the four joints. They slide on a stainless rod, part of the linkage.

You just have to face that you are probably going to have to make a new linkage. Use the old one for a pattern. I have my original with the original joints but they are worn.
