Default Help removing lower shift box

I'm in the process of removing the lower shift box to install an MGW. I removed 3 t40 torn bolts but it won't budge. What else is holding it in? This part isn't in the video

Thanks!

Nevermind you just have to pull it harder than I thought. Didn't want to break anything =)

Yeah just an FYI, it's three t40 hex bolts holding it on. After those are out it still feels like its in there really sturdy but you have to really pull it and it'll come out

Thanks for the tip! was having the same issue installing mine today. Just curious how much play does your shifter have side to side when in 3rd/4th gear?
