You've got to try to pop the rod ends off on either side to free the top from the transmissions.

They can be hard to get to with the top up but it can be done.

Thanks. I figured that out and now have the top freed up. But I have a new problem.

I reinstalled the cables in the convertible motor, and when I attempt to open or close the top, the motor turns the cables, but the transmission don't turn.

By hand, I can move each the transmissions freely about 180 degrees.

Any suggestions?
