okay - i'm stuck on the STUPIDEST thing
There is a pinch bolt that holds the shift rod to the tranny, once it's out the tranny side rod "just slides right out" of the shifter side u-joint sleeve.
Well - the damn rod is frozen solid in there, and there is no way the sub frame / tranny is going anywhere untill it's removed.
Maybe a good fire wrench would help? I suppose it's off to the store to look for a cheap propane torch...
