I am getting ready to remove a 4 spd tranny from a 51 GMC to replace the clutch. In the shop manual, I notice a diagram with a picture of a gearshift removal tool. The manual says that the tool is to be placed over the lever, then press down and turn to the left to remove only the gearshift.
I thought I may have to pull the top cover in order to remove the gearshift and give me enough room to slide the tranny out from under the truck. Has anyone ever seen a tool like this or come up with another way to remove only the gearshift lever ? Thanks,,,
