Ah, that brings up a good point. The shift rod portion (in the center) and the pin are both steel. ANY time you're assembling steel to steel you should massage in some oil or grease. Not just wipe it on, and not necessarily a bunch. Just a thin thin layer of oil/grease to try and ward off any corrosion. This is especially true of press-fit joints.
When we, as enthusiasts, rebuild parts we have a tendency to clean everything really well. And that's great and worthwhile, but sometimes you gotta add a little 'dirty' back onto these old cars to keep them happy. |
