hey, since i cannot remove that bitch pin and i cannot get a wrench on the through nut that holds the shift linkage to the shifter, is it possible to drop the transmission without bending the shift rod?can i keep all shift linkage in place when i do it?

 

ya I've done it before just drop it strait down.

 

so it was ok when you did the clutch? could you move it far enough to do the clutch?

 

Yeah you will have enough room.


Plus once you drop the tranny a little, you should be able to get a wrench on that rear bolt to the shifter.

 

This doesn't answer your question directly, but I remove the bitch pin with an air chisel and a machined pin type punch on the end of it. You could grind an over the counter air chisel tool if you took the time to fit.

 

8mm straight punch works great.

8mm air chisel works better.
