Is this the roll pin that connects the shift linkage? If so... how do u get this damn thing out?! Thanks!

 

yes it is... use a tapered roll pin punch... if you're dropping the tranny then you might as well remove it when the tranny's off the block because you'll be down there under the car beating the shiet out of it and it won't even budge unless you have enough room and leverage to pound it.

 

Yes, it's much easier to take out with the trans out of the car.

 

haha... go to your local snap-on dealer and buy a roll pin punch to put in a air chisel and it comes right out with eeeeezzzzzz

 

I just use a bolt that fits through the linkage but still mates the pin. easy.

^^^ exactly. Get a spare bolt that bolts into the other shift linkage arm, and hammer that bitch at the pin, works every time, just dont get too frustrated.

 

i used an AC bolt, twice now, works pretty good i guess. It def. is easier when its out of the car.

Can you explain this? Here's the diagram and we are trying to take out #29. Are you saying use #30 or #26?

 

I use a 1/4 inch punch. Usually pops out in 2-3 light hits, no problem

 

use #30, but make sureu have a spare or two because it will strip/round out.
