I've done it on a 60, (same thing). If you have enough
patience, you'll eventually get it to come out. Don't yank hard on the cable
while trying to release it. Press with the screwdriver & gently try pulling
it out.

Subject: IML: Question on 61 Shift Cable
Removal
This weekend was a car weekend. Ahhhh. Lots
of good progress. On the other hand, I tried to remove the shift cable
from one of the 61 parts cars (cast-iron 727). The illustration in the
manual is not exactly the same as the real thing, and the explanation is
really sketchy. It seems there is a spring that retains the cable end,
which must be somehow blindly pushed by a screwdriver via the hole where the
neutral safety switch normally resides. Ahem. I have tried several
size screwdrivers and many different blind pokes, but so far, no
luck. Has anyone successfully done this with the tranny in
place? Any magic tricks?
thanks,
jc
