5 speed conversion from auto

[Rob72]

Getting ready to drop my automatic out, and need to get the shifter out. I removed the console, and the four bolts holding the brass plate down, with the shifter down in

the valley.

Of course it won't drop out, I think there maybe a horizontal bolt/pin of some type that might be accessbile from underneath, but I couldn't reach it.

Am I on the right road here? If it is a bolt head (covered in hard to access grease/grime), does this thread out?

Thanks...

I found the nut at the end of the horizontal linkage could be removed and the vertical linkage was withdrawn up through the console.

Sorry, I don't know automatics. Otherwise I might have been of some help.

You're lucky. As the torque converter fluid leaked out all over my new jack, I said, "manual trannies forever!".
