Anyone ever done this, I guess the pin needs drilled and tapped out but I have never done any tranny work. If this is not something I am capable of doing how much should I expect to pay a professional to fix it? Thanks in advance!

it shouldn't cost any more than $50 or so, could be less. I would keep trying to do it myself. i believe theres a special tool where it fits right into the hole and you just tap it out with a hammer.

 

craftsman 8mm punch will take it right out

Or a screwdriver

 

air hammer

 

Def do it your self. I looked around everywhere and no one knew what the punch was.

 

Where can I get a new one... is it something I can ****** up locally or will I have to order it?

 

Check out matco tools they call it the 8mm roll pin punch. I think it's like $20.

 

something else that works good is a 12mm bolt, just take one off and its as wide as an 8mm punch at the threads

 

Great, thanks guys I really appreciate it. I will be trying this tomorrow... I will let ya know how it turns out. Anyone out there have any pics of the area I will be dealing with, I'm really green to tranny work lol.

 

just follow the shift linkage, where its meets the tranny is where it is, its covered by a rubber boot and a clip
