It is a quick disconnect fitting and you'll need the tool to do it, looks like this:

could i do it at all with a flathead screw driver, the tranny is stuck in 3rd i beleive its my shift fork i just gotta get it out thats the only thing i have left

I'm sure it's possible, you have to push the white collar in towards the transmission on the end of the hose, and pull out on the hose to release. I tried it with a screwdriver once and gave up and got the tool its cheap like < $10 at just about any auto part store. If you don't want to wait maybe try an open end wrench instead. Good luck!

Spray it down well with something like WD40.

I bought the tool and ended up using a small (1/8" wide blade) screwdriver which worked better for me. If you can't get the quick connect off you can disconnect the line up at the clutch master by pushing out the little roll pin which retains the line. (make sure not to lose it).

There should be a small round white plastic clip on the end of the line going into the tranny, you need to push that 'in' towards the tranny with either the tool or a flathead screwdriver, then pull the line out. Sometimes it comes out easy, sometimes it's a PITA.
