First, remove the (2) cotter pins with your fingers.(Picture 1)

The oem shifter cables are affixed to the transmission by (2) cotter pins and (2) “c”-shaped linkage clips.

Next, with a flathead screwdriver pry up the back side of the “c” shaped linkage clip (Picture 2) then pry from the front, twisting the screwdriver (Picture 3).

Once you have removed both clips you can slide the endlinks off of the transmission and completely remove the shifter cables from the transmission side.

Set them aside so they can be pulled out from the bottom of the car later.

NOTE: pictured in the first image are Hybrid Racing shifter cable bushings, the OEM bushings are rubber and may use a different style pin to hold them in.
