So I'm almost ready to pull my engine and trans, all I need to do now is undo the mounts and it can come right out. Except for the shifter cables, they're held in by these C-clips that I can't get out. I don't know what I'm missing here, is there something holding them in or are they just rusted to the case? Neither one will move at all.

looks like they are pretty rusted up.
spray em down with some pb blaster, let it sit a couple minutes, give em a couple taps with a hammer. lock on a good pair of needle nose vice grips along the gripping surface, and walk it up and out by wiggling the vice grips up and down. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
