Removing shift cable?

[sprucegoose]

Hi,
I've got a 98 Tahoe and have trouble with my shift linkage somewhere. I'm trying to remove the cable from the lever on the trans, but can't figure out how. There a white platice connector on the end of the cable, but it doesn't seem to come out easily. Does anyone know how to remove this?

You can see my entire post on this problem in the Tahoe forum at this link.

I just figured as the Sub and the Tahoe are quite similar, I'd post this here. Thanks, I'd sure appreciate any suggestions!

There is a black retainer(probably plastic) that holds the white plastic connector in. You should pull the black retainer out enough to push the white connector out

Thanks for the response Jeremy, but I already got it out. There was no black retainer within mine, it was just stubborn because it was crusted in so tight. The alum. or zinc cable end that it threaded thru was really tough to move even with that white plug removed. It took a shot or two of Tri-Flow lubricant and some persuading with a metal punch to break loose!
