Ok, Im changing my clutch. Im in the process of dropping the tranny and I'm stuck because I can't get the damn shift linkages off. I've removed the cotter pins but the little black bushings are stuck. I've tried prying them off with lots off force but its still stuck. I don't want to break them...any ideas? Pics attached.

 

Of all the things I wrestled with these weren't too bad. Be gentle but get a flat head under them and rotate it 90 degree. It should pop them off. You can break them easily but if you have finese it should work.

Let me know if you have problems I can take a video popping mine off next time im where mines parked
