As some of you know I made the mistake of removing the bolt from the driver side of my t-5. Now, I have the trans out of the car, and all the bolts removed from the shifter base, the tailhousing and the top plate. Problem is, I can't get the top plate off. Do I have to remove the cotter pin holding the shifter shaft to the housing? If so, please tell me how.

To clarify: the only thing I want to remove is the top plate.

I'm sitting at my pc right now waiting for your response.

Thanks guys
