96
4 cylinder FI
4 gear with overdrive and a reverse.
2 wd
I am currently trying to remove the shifter from my wife’s 96 ford ranger so I can drop the transmission and replace the clutch system. Easy right? NOT! The freaking shifter is held on by the oddest bolt ever. It is a threaded rod that screws in on one side and seems to be cammed in on the other and has a nut on it. I have tried everything I can think of to try and get this POS off. All the repair manuals I can find say “simply remove the bolt and pull shifter up and off”. Nothing specific about the bolt. More than one manual has said see figure x.x only to have figure x.x be missing! The other manuals don’t have a picture just a non fitting description. I really need to get this truck back on the road ASAP. Please help if you can. I need some ideas here.
Thanks.
