Today i tackled the Transmission linkage pin(bitch pin)---which should definitely be renamed..this was easier than taking my axles out.
Tools needed: Air Hammer-Chisel piece attached
Time:15 minutes top

This is based on the assumption you have air tools. if you dont, go out and spend the 300...its well worth the cash.

Take off the metal clamp surrounding the pin.

Firstly throw the transmission into either first or third gear, this will allow for more space to work with as your going to pull the linkage pin toward the rear of the car.

This guy went all out....unnecessary..Put the air hammer on the bottom of the pin and make sure the pressure regulator is set to the highest. Its definitely a good idea to wear safety glasses here because your going to unsettle a lot of debris and you dont want anything in your eyes...

Now Go! use the air hammer and launch that pin right outta there. be careful not to exceed the diameter of the pin with the chisel. You should be able to push the pin beyond half the shaft. Then all you need to do is take a regular hammer and smaller chisel and tap it nicely out.
It is essential that you dont use the air hammer to drive the pin all the way out because the transmission casing is aluminum and is easily damaged. just use it to break the pin loose and send it about 70% out. Dont loose the pin...its small..keep it with the clamp.
Now the linkage should drop freely and your good to go! For me this means i just gotta remove the engine top side cabling (grounds, throttle, cluctch, fuel, heater,etc) and the engine will be ready to pull.
