ok on the box you will find the selection rod,
in the middle of that there is a pin.. bit of a git because you have to squees the bottom tof the pin as it has a locking tab pull the pin and disconect that part of the linkage from the box.
then you will see that there is some bushes with a funky clip on the top of them.. remove the clip (one on the gearbox) and there is one on the bracket that bolts to the subframe. then under the car unbolt the selector rod from the gear leaver (T55 torx bit) and wiggle it all off. and hay presto your linkage is completely out of the car and nothing is in the way
