you mean the little pins that go on the shifter linkage right over the tranny.. mine popped out with a hammer..

maybe i need a smaller pin punch all the ones i used kept bending.

you can try putting something flat up against it like the base of a flat head screw driver and pop it out

I know how to pull the cables off.
What i want to do is remove the lever off the selector rod that goes into box both of mine on old box are shorter.I think i will have to drill them out.
thanks
