Im pulling out my engine ive got everthing unplugged and the axels off but i got stuck on the shift linkage theirs like a pin i need to take out is their a certain tool to use on that?

 

search "bitch pin"

 

you need to hit it with a punch and drive it out....there are special punces with like a half sphere in the center that are for this they work good but you don't need them....just get the right diameter punch and whack away

 

just use a smaller bolt and hit it out. not hard.

 

The AC compresssor mount bolts are perfect for that job.

On another note, glad to see you finally have the right name GREMICE/Grimace.

 

haha yes i got tired of everyone asking why i didn't spell it correct.

badass on both counts!

 

lol...I have a concrete drill got that fits the pin perfectly, it stays in my tool box next to my 3lb sledge hammer.

BTW that 3lb sledge is one of the most awesome helper tools in my tool box.

 

I ran into the same problem when doing my swap. Check out the thread that I made, got some pretty good responses there:

I tried the c-clamp method, AC compressor bolt, all different types of punches, but the pin didn't want to come out. So I ended up ordering a tool from Matco tools specifically designed to remove the shift pin.



Go to http://matcotools.com/ and search for this part number: MST6455

Took about 3 hits with a BFH and in 5 seconds it was out. It always helps when you have the right tools!

 

"roll pin punch" i have the snap on kit but just go to sears

Wes's site is great, will help you with the "bitch pin" and many other topics as well.

 

thanks everyone i finally got that bitch out! great link 91.crx.si

 

Having autozone, advance etc. rent out that punch would be such a time (and money) saver. Petition time!

 

just a thought...not sure if your doing a b series swap or not but if you are what i did was disconnected everything disconnected the shifter dropped the engine down withe the linkage still attached why disconnect something you really dont have to...? please correct me if im wrong
