    Yup you got the right idea squirt some wd40 in there but be careful not to turn it too hard cuz you could actually take out the shift arm too

    if its really a huge pain and won't come lose, i suggest pulling the shift boot and taking the whole arm itself off. then you can hold it in a vice while you loosen it up. or, swap a new arm on if you really cant save it

    Man I was about ready to say what standardbyker said. This is what I had to do with the one in my 94 pull the arm and put it in a vise. It was liquid welded onto the shaft.
