Since I have been on the topic of getting rusty old stuck parts lose. I have this shifter ball and cup on a transmission that I cannot get off. This is not the overdrive I got, but the one that came with this rusty project. It is kind of odd, but I actually enjoy getting these stuck things apart, but again the older I get, and the older these cars get, I am finding that less fun.
Anyways I am at the point of trying a pipe wrench on the top of the cup to see if I get it to move by changing the shape of the top some and forcing that ½ lap over on the bottom to come lose. I have gotten a lot of stuck ones in the past apart by soaking them and using chisels to get them to move, but this one is really stuck. I guess this is a case of dis-similar metals bonding.
