Does any one know how to get the shift rod off the gearbox end on a 1988 Honda Civic D15b4? I have taken off the extender gear linkage need to get the clip off the shift rod.
Any help appreciated. :thumbsup:

Trying to get gearbox off for spare parts for my better model Civic.

Remove the Pin retainer and then you have to bash the Spring pin out with a 8mm punch

just like to add - depending on the surrounding shift linkage it may be alot harder than it needs to be (to remove)
- make sure your punch is perfectly FLAT and no rounded or splayed edges. Alittle WD40 or similar spray in and around can help.
Also try to use either a smaller hammer and use many smaller blows or use a larger mallet and a few taps will loosen the pin out
