Unbolt the nut that holds the lower part of the linkage to the trans shift arm then pry the upper part of the linkage out of the shift arm bushing.

WD40 helps on old hard and crusty grommets when prying.

If you don't have to take out the column bushing, don't. They suck.

if you are talking about the bushing, you can still get those at Ford fairly cheap, I paid 3 dollars each for them (I do get a discount though) I believe they are normally like 6-7 dollars, don't bother with a Junk Yard, part number is E0SZ-7341-B
