well. i made a big mistake today on my t-5 rebuild, I was putting the shifter block thing, and forgot I left the old roll pin inside the hole, and put a new one on top of it, now the freakin roll pins are holding it in place.


now is my only option to drill out the roll pins? or is there some way of getting them out?
I feel so stupid now.

 

just take a punch and push them out and you should be fine

 

its inside the trans already, the botom one is pressed all the way through to the plate, and the other one is pushed halfway down the shifter shaft

 

guess ill need some strong drill bits, im not sure if roll pins are hardend or not

 

bump

well since nobody has done this before, heres a tip, make sure you take out all roll pins when working on something with them!

 

yes the only way to get that roll pin out is to drill it.....ive done that b4 also ..........it takes a while...use oil while u are drilling and get a good HSS bit....
