For anyone here like me who has had the worst time in the past getting the shift linkage pin out I have the best tip! Go and buy a air hammer it takes it out in like 5 seconds. I bought a CH air hammer at the local autozone for $17.99 to see if it would get it out. Which the pointed chisel loaded in the air hammer it pushed it out like butter!! I just needed to tap it like twice to get it the rest of the way out since the pointed chisel is tapered and will not go all the way through the hole. I was so happy!!

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely look into it.

 

of course air hammer is the best way.
for those that dont have an air compressor, the ac compressor bolts work great
