Dave,
Here's what I did when I switched my tranny to an OD one. I did the bolt
AND a new pin.

0Pins
I also put in a Toyota throwout bearing and (as recommended at this website)
I doubled up the cross shaft bushings (used two on both sides). Haven't
had a problem with any of it for the last three years.
Sorry this took awhile but I didn't have this URL at home and finally found
it today at work.
