We're going to continue trying various penetrants combined with constant
pressure (we had to get a larger/heavier C-clamp, as the one we started with
actually bent under the strain!). There's no rust visible anywhere--the
area was protected by the shifter control box, and the whole gearbox looks
well cared-for--and we can't believe the pin withstands the kind of pressure
we've been putting on it. (Look at Moss Motors' on-line catalog to see
exactly what we're dealing with--pin #64, which holds lever #65 to shaft
#70.) Fortunately we're in no hurry to get this thing apart. We'll report
the eventual outcome....
