seal for shift fork, $#(*^ PINS Options

[tat2dphreak]

is ther a good way to get the pins out of the shift fork to replace the seal? my side-shifter leaks there a bit... and I have the seal, but it looks like it will take a press to get them out, and they will be messed up afterwards... are new pins available?

New pins are NOT available. Whatever you do, don't remove the pin on the inside of the trans. Remove the one on the outside. I know this from experience. The pin can get damaged in removal, and you can end up in the hills around Austin stuck in third gear because the pin sheared. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) If you disassemble the outside one, you can replace it without draining the trans. If you disassemble the inside one, you have to drain the transmission and replace the shift console with the transmission hot!!! (BTW.. it is REALLY embarassing to have to get your 914 friends to push your car so you can get moving in 3rd gear.... BTDT!!!)

I already pulled the shift fork out, I already drained the tranny to put in swepco too...

I have not taken either pin out... I did not disassemble it... I took out the 2 bolts that connect it to the tranny... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

if new pins aren't available, what do you suggest to keep them usable?


while were' on the subject of pins... I'm missing a pin on the flywheel too... the ones for the pressure plate... are those available new?
