Shifter Removal
Well, I was going to drop the transmission on my truck after the clutch friend (along with the throwout bearing).
As I was doing everying to drop the tranmission I noticed a piece of clutch siticking out between the bell housing and the engine, so I figured I had really fried it.
So i was able to take off the 4wd shifter alright, but the regular one for my 4 speed, I could do it.
I took off the boot and stuff and theres a ball inside a collar, and its got a notch in it.
Theres a pin going through the side of the collar, through the ball and out the other end, its totally round, with no space for hex keys or anything.
So how do i remove my shifter (that stick comming out of my transmission if i didnt use the right term)?
I've tried pressing that ball down and stuff. Anybody know?
White 1981 Ford F-350. with a 400m and the 4 speed that came in it. I dont hvae a good manual and the chiltons book i ahve sucks and it doesnt even mention it. I've been hung up for a week on it and i'm mad that something so small can cause me so much grief!
Any help is appreciated.

The pins DO NOT DRIVE OUT! That will break the top of the case. I just replaced a tranny in a friends turck that someone tryed that on!
Just turn the cap and the shifter will lift out!

That dang shift collar flew apart on me in the middle of traffic and I pulled the shifter right out of the floor. Well I stuck the shifter in and carefully drove home. Anyway it must have took me 10 trys and a couple hours before I got that thing back together. That spring inside there is stronger then all get out, I was shoving down on it with all my weight and my brother was trying to shimy it around to lock it, not an easy job, they really could have put a hex head on there. Have gettin it back together (if you get it apart.)
