Default 4+3 Shifter Assy Removal

Can you remove / replace the threaded shifter rod without removing the entire assy? I pulled the pin and I can only pull the shifter rod up about 1/2 an inch. Is there something else I have to disconnect? Does anyone have a expanded parts view of the shifer assy? I need to know if I have to buy the whole assy with linkages.
Appreciate the help

The shifter assembly is bolts to the side of the tunnel.
You should be able to disconnect the rods inside the car and take shifter out
This is a 4+3 shifter in a custom app but the rod connections are stock setup

what year is your car? is the O/D button on the shifter?
so you have the **** off, but you want to take the whole shifter out?

Makes no difference if taking whole shifter out ; unplug the wires at base , disconnect linkages and undo the bolts holding shifter to tunnel

Great picture! Mine is an 87 with the button on the ****.

So I have to disconnect the linkages on bottom to remove the shifter. Here I was thinking removing the pin and it came straight out and easy!
