Started to change shift bushings at trans (side shift). Discovered that the allen set screw is stripped and will not hold the 4mm wrench. It is also flush with the "cup" so I can't get vice grips on it.
Here's the best idea I can come up with: Try to drill it out. I would like to move the whole shift console to the bench for the operation. Can I remove the two nuts (drain tranny first?) and take it and the rear shift rod to the bench/drill press? Or do I have to remove the roll pin on the shift lever to get the shift console off the tranny? All help greatly appreciated. |

Problem solved. Many thanks to you all. As usual, the answers are on this board.
Solution: Hammer, Torx, 1/4" socket and 1/4" drive ratchet. Banged that sucker in and spun it out like it was designed that way. For future reference, a T-27 Torx is a fine press fit. YES!!!!!!!!!! Now, back to my earlier "do it the hard way" solution. I still need to replace the O ring and seal in the shift rod out of the tranny. Can I remove the two nuts and pull it all out or do I need to remove the roll pin/lever to slide the console bracket off? Thanks again to all who helped. |
