i put a GSR motor in my del sol and everything is ready to go but i have a big problem... The pin that holds in the shiftlinkage is stuck. Ive tryed every thing to get it out used a punch th same size as the pin and beat on it..nothing used a 10mm bolt and threaded it in a little and hit it with power...nothing so i thought about drillin it out but when i got it going the drill broke off inside the pin... Im so screwed if anyone can help i would thank u much...

 

yeah i had the same problem... i just constinatly beat the hell out of it and the bitch pin finally moved... did you maybe spray it with a lil lube? then give it a few good cracks?

 

put it in first gear!! then spray some WD-40, get a screw of some sort or a punch, put it up to the bitch pin and bang on it

 

i did all this...i banged on it for 30 mins no moving nothing so damn dumb the way they set it up...why cant it be a bolt

 

I used one of the long 10mm bolts that holds the ac condensor to the bracket, I had extra bolts... not sure about you, I had the shifter in neutral the hold time I was banging on it and no luck, then I put it in gear (1st) for some reason it got easier... Good Luck

 

yah they suck i hit mine for 2 days.. lol.

good luck man

 

use a pneumatic chisel to drive the punch.

 

there is a thread SOME were around here that gives you the exact sized punch to use and how to get it out easily without ****** it up. i have no clue what to search for but its here. maybe check some of the transmision removal threads

 

use an 8 MM punch. if you use a screwdriver or anything else that's not the correct size it will just simply expand the pin as you pound on it thus making it not want to come out.

 

"I used one of the long 10mm bolts that holds the ac condensor to the bracket"

A good fried told me this works

 

Just use the correct size punch and bang the **** out of it.... works every time.

 

I used a Hex (Alan) key. dont remeber which size though..

 

5/16" pin punch or 8mm if you can find one. O, and a nice weighted hammer would help. If you have air tools a pneumatic would make that pin like cake.

 

Bump

 

we had the same problem. take the linkage out with the motor/tranny and hit it out from the other side. much easier this way.

 

i hate these fuking pins. i always hit them out with a 12mm bolt. meaning the head is 12mm. the bolt will fit perfectly ontop of the pin and slide right out.

then when reinstalling i just use that 12mm bolt and put a nut on the other side of it. this way i dont have to dick with it again. it works everytime and ive never had a problem with it falling off or breaking

 

yeah...but when you use the nut and bolt, doesn't that make your shifter real lose?

i have a nut and bolt on mine right now and my shift is damn lose. i haven't missed a gear, but i would rather have a pin instead of the nut and bolt.
