Anyone had allot of trouble getting shifter shaft roll pins out?
Good lord. I have been beating on those things for an hour. Am I correct using 3/32" and 5/32" punches? (Same as shifter fork) Letting them soak in pb tonight hoping for better luck tomorrow...

Are those the same sort of roll pins as shown in this thread? I haven't tackled one of those yet, and would love to know exactly how those things get removed.

Is it really just hitting them with a punch? I haven't had anything apart yet where those need to come out, but I can see that day approaching.

Sure is Jim. The clutch arm pins have always been easy for me, but the ones on my shifter shaft were a while different animal. I ended up breaking/bending 5 punches and tried drilling/dremeling with no luck (hardened pins). I am sure those had been in there a long time and were exposed to the elements, so they got pretty crudded up.

In the end I believe my success was in orienting the tranny so it was completely solid/braced and did not move at all when hammering the pin. I did this by placing the tranny on the bearing cover and using a floor jack to hold it upwrite. This allowed for me to hammer downward onto the pins and eventually they gave way one at a time. I also had to use a tapered punch to start the center pin since the straight shaft punches bent/broke under my 3lb sledge.

Long winded, but hope that might help you or anyone else in the future...let me know if that needs any clerification.

On a side note I hope this darn jgy lsd is worth all this trouble!!

Cheers,

Walker Clark
