I strongly suggest using penetrating oil and working it free.You can remove it from the top to lift t up a couple inches to spray liberally with PB Blaster or similar.
If you have the cable free from the trans, you should be able to remove it all out of the top. (It does take some maneuvering.)
If you're looking for a replacement, let me know. I have a few that are in great shape.
