I have a 2002 MINI Cooper S build date of 05/2002 I am trying to disconnect the shift cable that is connected to the shifter itself and I am having no luck at all.
Is there some kind of trick or tool to get the thing off?
I think there is a special tool that makes it easier, but I've never done it. Most reports I read involve those getting mangled and having to be replaced so take your time and do your research before you break them.
I am trying as best I can to not destroy anything. I read on pelican parts install sheet he took an 14mm wrench and was able to pry down and remove it tried that did not work. The shifter doesn't need to be in any certain position or anything?
