Shift linkage replacement

[Mccombssean]

Maybe I'm doing this wrong but I haven't found one thread in this forum on how to replace shift linkage. I've got all the linkages popped off the joints but I feel like when I pull on the linkage I'm missing something cuz it feels like it's caught. Possibly something by the firewall. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why are you doing this?

Under the body, just above the downpipe.

That's it! I'll check it out. I can see that part on the replacement linkage cables I just thought I possible got the wrong one haha thank you d1jl, I'll let you know how it goes

There is also the point where the cables go through the body.

Where did you find these diagrams? I’m about to do this exact job out of necessity (one single clip on a linkage arm broke and I now have to buy/replace the whole assembly again), and will absolutely post results.

These were all from the Official Ford Workshop Manuel.

If anyone stumbles on this, it is possible without pulling much of the interior.
Remove the down pipe
Bend the heat shield down a bit where the cables enter
Use a 10mil wrench to undo 2 nuts
Press the plate the cables run through into the car, make sure the little metal tabs and both studs are pushed inside the hole
Pull the cables from inside
Install in reverse order
