c6 shift linkage cut? Help
Guys, I need some help. My new tranny has the old linkage bar cut, and the retaining collar wont budge. Lokar ACA-1801 - Lokar Column Shift Linkage - Overview - SummitRacing.com will this bolt over the collar? the piece that's cut was the part that has the linkage rod to the column. I got the nut off for the kick down, its that damm collar right behind that then the "bar".

Bear, I believe the piece that you are referring to has to be pulled from the inside. The one used on cars rests at about a 45º angle in part where the truck is more horizontal in park or along the pan lip. My C6 came from a car and it was several years later before I changed the modified setup.

John, The bolt is out. I was able to remove the nut/lock washer and kickdown. This is the second "bar/lever". Once I figure out how to post a photo I think it will be easier to explain.

Alright lets try this again, red line is on the retainer I cannot remove, and the green line is on the arm/bracket that is cut. I want to slip the parts from Summit on the retaining nut and just leave the cut linkage arm. Sorry I dont know exactly what its called, and thanks for your help.

Thanks again Bill for your help, its been a nightmare.
Still cant find a way to "remove" that inner lever, so I ordered the Lokar kit. Should arrive tomorrow.
Ive got some undercarage paint/degreesing and an install now, she'll be back on the road soon enough.

I was hoping a tranny guy would stop in, but I am pretty sure you have to get behind the pan.
I had my lever corrected when I had the fluid changed.

. I dont think I have a problem with the lever being there, nor the bolt, its out of the tranny like it should. I just want the "cut lever" removed, want is not a need at this point so if no tranny guy wakes up, shes going in this weekend like so. My linkage will be here this afternoon!

The new arm is BETTER than I even thought it would. Tranny is primed, paint goes on tonight, arms already been pre-fit and its perfect.
