Depending on what year, the type 3 is easier. The late T-3's have a plate bolted to the top of the tunnel, that the shifter is mounted in. This started, I think at the same time as the automatic transmission. If it is an older car, you will need to unhook the coupleing at the front of the trans from under the car. Then the shift rod needs to come out through the front. To do this, remove the plate next to the master cylinder, the spare tire well, and the round plate under the front bumper. A trick to getting it back in, is to tie a stout cord to the shift rod at the shift coupling before pulling it out. Then you can use this cord to help pull it back in.
