Anyone can guide me to remove my shift linkage from my Del sol.
I don't know how to remove the one from the engine.

you need an 8 mm hole punch to punch it out.

I found it easier to leave it attached to the gearbox when i removed the engine from my del sol.

pull back the rubber boot to expose where the pin is
there will be a ring that wraps around the linkage to keep the pin in there, remove the ring by expanding it
the bitch pin will be exposed, use a 8mm punch and hammer it from the bottom, it'll come out eventually
pull the linkage outwards

to remove the stabiliser bar undo the 12mm or 14mm bolt(i can't remember) and pull it outwards

to remove the shifter section you'll probably have to remove your gearknob and centre console
should be a circular dust boot you'll have to roll upwards
get back under the car and there should be 2 bolts which hold the rest of the shifter assembly to the chassis, remove these and it should just drop out

do exactly as above.. but the rubber boot on the gearbox/shift linkages, pull it off by pushign it towards the gearbox, not the other way around lol.. i learnt that my first time doing it..

stabiliser bar has a 12mm bolt.
keep the washer and the pin + clip somewhere safe to install later
