B&M install nightmare

[dL_RL]

OK guys, this install is turning into a nightmare. 1.5 hours into it and I can't get the shifter assembly out. I removed all 4 13mm bolts and now this assembly will not come out. I've been tugging on this thing for god knows how long..

HELP! PLEASE!

I hate to be a dick but i'm bumping this thread because this install is killin' me.

I'm stuck!

Still stuck?

No thanks though, I got it done. I had to use a large and small crowbar to get the shifter assembly out. It was crazy!!

The rubber bushing had some really strong adhesive on the bottom of them and the metal bushings did not want to come out.

I think my Saturn Dealer may have put the adhesive on the bottom of the bushings after they replaced my shifter assembly 6 months ago.

I even called Modern Performance (where I bought it from), they told me it should just come out just ease.

I'm still having problems with the shifter, which I will make my own thread about. I'm not very happy with the shifter but it is driveable.

play around with the linkage links, you can go from a wide pattern to a very small pattern pretty fast. i've got mine to where i can hear the metal rev. lock out hit the edge of the consol in 5th
need to adjust it tho...
