removing engine?

[rocketmq1]

When removing the engine and gear box together on a b5 s4 what is the best/easiest way to separate the gear stick/shifter from the gear box?

Its my first time pulling my engine and have just ran into small problem.
my engine and gear box are 95% out i think its just the shifter stopping it coming out now! it was getting a bit late so have given up for the evening should be back on it first thing Saturday morning so any pointers would be welcome.

Cheers.

Undo the 4 10mm nuts that hold the selector to the tunnel and let it drop out the bottom with the gearbox ..

Cheers Grizz, i may be in touch again next week once its out. I have got to get to the bottom of the compression problem i mentioned on the phone the other week! once its fixed i can then see how much cash is left for modding!!!
