remove shifter stick
Maybe I am stupid, but after reading about anything I could put my hands on, I still don't understand how to remove this stick from the shifter assembly on the M20 WHILE everything still mounted in the car. Anyone could help?

I could be wrong but I think you have two options. You can drive out the pin that is shown in the first photo. That should allow the shifter hand to be pulled completely from the lever mechanism. It looks like it needs to be taken apart and cleaned anyway.
Secondly, crawl under the car and remove the shifter arms from the transmission and then unbolt the shifter from the tailhousing. The shifter will just drop out from underneath the car. This is the way most guys take it out. Then you can still pull the engine and transmission together.

Option 2 I found out before reading your response, in the meantime it did manage but it's quite an undertaking
Many things have to come out first , it's actually only one bolt that holds it together, but that one bold it hidden behind many many things
I'll document later for the next 'victim'
