Can't import NSMutableArray to another class, and save tablecell objects - ios7

Question

I have an app that is tableview/pickerview controlled and for each table i have filled with textcellobjects.
Now when customer chooses one row and continue to next tableview I want to save that object in an NSMutableArray that is allocated/initialized in one class and I want to have that class file public so objects can be added from all the different tableview classes into the NSMutableArray.
The first 2 files MotorTVController code is working well, when a tableview cell is clicked the object is added to _myTrimArray, but I want to be able to save next tablecell object in the same _myTrimArray, i try to import the TrimArray.h(2 files last in the code here) with the same save function to MotorTVController to use the savearraycode from it, but is is not working.
So I want TrimArray.h/TrimArray.h to be able to save from all the different classes with tableviews and tableviewcell text values into one NSMutableArray.
I have been struggling with this for almost a week now, I hope someone can give me a solution, I'm kinda new at this, I know this cant be so difficult to solve, but I just don't know how?

If I understood right your question , you want an arrayObject to be available globally for all the other ViewControllers right ?
If so ,your subclassing form NSMutableArray and give it Property of NSMutableArray is Wrong.
To achieve this , the simplest solution would be to use NSUserDefaults.
To sore the ArrayObject Like below.
// Get the standardUserDefaults object, store your UITableView data array against a key, synchronize the defaults
NSUserDefaults *userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[userDefaults setObject:_trimArray forKey:#"TrimArray"];
[userDefaults synchronize];
To retrieve // you can retrieve the arrayObject from anywhere in your app.
NSUserDefaults *userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSArray *arrayOfObjects = [userDefaults objectForKey:#"TrimArray"];
// Use 'yourArray' to repopulate your UITableView
