Hi Mario M from Hesse.

I can get that gold bracket out, just need to reach around the transmission from under the car and detach the linkage some how.

maybe the stabilizer broke? The rod attached to the ball socket keeps it from sliding around. Pic above. Should I try to take that off from under the car?
