Am I missing something here?
My '69 B has a somewhat sticky shifter and I wanted to remove it so I can clean/lube/ have a look-see.
So I remove the leather boot and shift knob.
Then I remove the three screws that hold the retaining plate for the shifter to the trans. And I remove the round retaining plate.
Then I remove the left-side guide screw that goes in the slot that is cut in the ball of the shifter.
I cannot remove the right-side screw (at least easily) but I figure it should pull straight up and out anyway. No?
I pull and pull.
Then I mix pulling with profane language.
Still no go.
I use my slide hammer to try to yank it up and out.
No go.
Suggestions?
