shifter removal for 77 fj40

[mitchell]

How do you remove the shifter from the trans? Is there a special tool? Or can I fabricate one.

Thanks.

I think its just push down and turn like an SM465

Yep, push down and turn...counterclockwise I think...same drill for sm420 as well...

do i just push down on the shifter? or do I have to push something else?
