Can't remove rusty gear shifter pin to the transmission M47 200

I'm trying to drop the transmission in my 93 245 because I have to replace the noisy throwout bearing. I have successfully done everything from removing the two 18mm bolts from the top of the bellhousing to dropping the driveshaft.

HOWEVER, I cannot get the pin that links the shifter lever to the shift arm on the transmission to budge. I removed the rusty allen head screw that holds it in place, but it's rusted around the shifter shaft.

Any tips on how to get it out? I've been soaking it in AeroKroil all day and no luck. Tried grabbing one end sticking out with vice grips, but no luck there. Not enough meat to grab hold of.


And just an aside, why do you have to remove the gear shift lever to drop the transmission? After you free the pin from the shifter/transmission shift arm why would you need to pull the shifter up and out of the car?
