Ok I was looking for suggestions I was changing my shifter cables everythig was going smoothly til I went to remove the broken head of the shifter cable I removed the cotter pin and the washer clip but for some damn reason it won't come off the trans bracket. I pb blasted the he'll outta it and tried my ass off for 3 hrs to get it out and zilch. Has any one had this issue. Or any suggestions I even tried pulling up with a hammer while my bro hit it from the bottom with a screwdriver and it didn't budge
 
Keep pb blasting it for a few days and tapping around on the metal. Also if able some good heat on the broken head only and quickly before it soaks thruto the stud. If you can get enough heat on it quickly it will expand and drop of the stud. Sometimes even heating it up close to red or red the quinch with water quickly and it will shock the two pieces apart. We use that one a lot at my machine shop to remove froze shafts and even broken bolts. We heat the surronding metal then quinch and it will pop right out.
