I'm new to this - have had my 84 manual for about 6 months. Its getting real noisy with the clutch pedal in or out, and doesn't want to shift, so I figure a pilot bearing or throwout bearing and will go ahead and replace the clutch.
So I'm following the Bentley manual, to remove the shift lever, I take off the console and attached boot, peel back the inner boot (which was broken around the top corrugation), vacuum out the dirt that had gotten in, and remove the snap ring. I now have a loose metal cup and inner piece around the shift lever, and see little detents on each side of the shift lever which don't move with the shift lever. It moves but won't come out! I tried putting in gear oil to loosen things up, and a little went in (not much).
Help!
Thanks for any suggestions.
