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. |

Remove the 2 13mm nuts and take it to the bench. You still need to drive the roll pin out to replace the seal. Much easier to do with the assembly in a vice. Put a tiny bead of Hylomar on the O-ring when you reinstall it. Dave |
