how the F does I remove this?

I'm trying to get my tranny out, and this is the only thing in my way now...

frustratating (new word)

thx in advance

 

well the shifter it self is held on with a 10mm bold i believe, you dont have to take it completely out. the stabilizer link is held in with a 6mm allen bolt. the bolt is so long than itll actually hit the heat shield, just force it out
