in my b20a gearbox, I installed the intermediate shaft (with no troubles at all IIRC) about 2 years ago, drove all good with no problems. now the gearbox is out of the car, the shaft is now stuck in the gearbox and wont come out. i tried prying it out, and then hammering (to the point where i've started damaging the part that bolts to the block), it came out probably a maximum of about 5mm, but not any further. it seems completely stuck. why? and how can I get it out?
