Norm,
I don't recall the part number of the pin I ordered from the parts
manual, but what came in from the dealer wasn't what I needed. The pin I
received did not have a head, nor any other means I could see to secure
it. All it was, other than a cylindrical piece of metal was what looked
to be a screwdriver slot in one end. I think the pin I received is
intended to be retained by something outside of itself!
The hole in the end of the shift lever may also be worn. I found that I
could put in some shim washers on each side of the shift rod to take out
as much of the slop as possible. I also have some slop inside the trans,
which shimming the linkage won't take care of, but with the washers
installed the shifter did tighten up quite a bit.
Peace,
Pat
