don't you have to drill out the rivits once you pull the console off?
my linkage was installed wrong and i really don't want to go this route in order to access it.
You do have to dril out rivits. Bolt it back down with stainless sheet metal screws. It isn't that bad.
the hardest part for me was getting the shaft un froz. I dissasembled & openend up the bore a bit & shes been well behaved since.
Mines frozen......but will loosen up if I go on a long drive.... and whale at it from the passenger side
Once you've stopped the truck of course

ok. but if it is that bad i am coming down to St. Lou and making you walk around East St. Louis with a thong and bottle of Thunderbird in hand.
once it gets above 40 degrees i am heading out to try this on the 1996. some shop in town was doing warranty work on the truck and didn't get the linkage in right. damn thing is in 4 low when it should be in 4 high. all screwed up. time for drilling.

I took the knob/gaiter off mine and then slipped the straw of the spray lube can down next to the cdl lever. I sprayed with with two kinds of penetrating lube and also reached up from underneath and sprayed a bunch more. No luck freeing it up that day, but days later I finally did. One product that I used is Fluidfilm which seems to work great on rusty stuff.

maybe if you'd move all those damn cars out of the shop you would have room for a big ass heater and mini bar!
i was working on a few of my trucks earlier in the winter in 20 degree temps on my back for hours on end. it was miserable work. no more. i will wait til it hits 40 or be indoors.

Take it apart!
The only thing I did in two days of muscling and spraying my cdl was waste my time, and stress the linkage. I finally took it completly out. I then put it in a bench vise, used a center punch and a sledge hammer to free the sliding pin up. I should have gone straight to pulling it out.
