6 speed shifter cable help!!

[timbo123]

I tried searching this info but I came up short. I am swapping out my 1.8l in my 07 versa with the 6 speed manual transmission and I need to know the secret to releasing the shifter cable clips from the transmission. They are ball and socket style and I don't dare just go at them because everything is expensive for this car. It's like owning a skyline all over lol. Anyways please help. Thank you very much
Oh and before I get blown up over why I am swapping the motor. It has rod knock and it was cheaper and easier to just switch it out for a used engine. Just using an 08 versa engine.

Nobody? Not one person has removed a manual transmission on here from a versa
