Regarding the shifter removal, since you're not planning on reusing it, you can sawsall or die grind the plate off of what's left of the shifter cane to get to the retainer. I bought a container of parts about 8 years ago that had one of those. I have enough extra shift towers that I just unbolted the junk and threw it away.

Literally just got done taking care of this. Just pulled the tower (then chased the springs all over the garage) and got to the collar in a bench vice
Pics from yesterday... another successful trip, with no technical "44" issues... just a very physical climb, over a number of slate shelves, to the top of the mountain.

Save some energy for next Saturday Danny! I have a tentative ' all clear' from the Mrs to go out solo on Saturday while she and the kids do the tourist thing.

Gotta love the knuckle rebuild routine...You just gotta get down and dirty, good and greasy and make sure you bought plenty of good quality grease cause it takes a hell of a lot!
Father-in-law and I got the driveline out of the Clustertruck.
The ram on the engine crane failed on its first use - thanks Harbor Freight...so the engine only made it about this far - had to improvise to keep it off the floor...
Unfortunately those skids on the motor mount won't fly - one folded under the weight of the engine when it came down sideways - largely because one of the engine mount holes has a broken bolt in it. So today, with a new ram on the crane, I'm hoping to get the transmission separated and get the engine up on a "real" engine stand.

Got my brake sensors out, teflon tape put on and put back in correctly. No more brake leaks and they work great. Now just waiting for some emissions parts to arrive.
I DID NOTHING..........ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!
Got the new clutch and PP installed, Then installed all 4 new motor mounts.
Got it out and played on the rocks.
