Yes.  If you look across the tranny, you will see an
aluminum cap on the opposite side of the tranny.  This
cap houses the back up light switch.  Remove this cap,
and you get at the other side of the rod.  if I
remember correctly, there may be a C-clip inside there
you need to remove, but thats it.  Then the rod simply
slides out.
