The shift rod has a pin right after the firewall that connects the rod to the transmission. Both of the bushings were completely gone, as in not even there. Not really sure how I drove it home. Everything I can find shows how to remove the pin but the bushings are part of the process...I don't have bushings so everything on removal doesn't work.
I have tried using a vice, I have tried a punch but nothing friggin works... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I have managed to damage ever so slightly one end of the pin but don't think it is a big deal, no mushrooming. How do I get this damn pin out? Thanks |

I did mine today. I pressed it out with a hydraulic press, but you can use a bench vise if you have a decent one. 914Rubber has all the bushings or you can buy as a kit with a new boot and everything. Mine went pretty smooth, so while I was in there, I cleaned and painted the rod.

Did you try pushing the pin into a deep socket with the vise? Big enough to receive the pin and rest on the bushings. Use an about the same diameter, just smaller the pin, bolt. Hold the bolt with a pair of vise grips. A little penetrant would help.

I went to a machine shop that had a 20 ton press and had them drive it out for a 12 pack of beer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

I also use a vise with a couple sockets, one 1/4" drive just smaller than the diameter of the pin and a deep well socket on the other side; and heat if required. I've taken dozens of those apart and I have had only had one that I couldn't get the pin out.
