1/4 inch hole in shifting tower sloppy On my 39 transmission, the little 1/4" pin that the slot in the shift lever ball slides over and goes in the hole in the shifting tower is sloppy A letter F drill is perfect. I could cut of a little piece of an F drill and use that . I have been told that you should use softer steel than a drill bit. Can I heat the bit to cherry red and let it cool slowly to anneal it. Is that going to be soft enough

Re: 1/4 inch hole in shifting tower sloppy Most drill bits have the chuck end softer than the cutting end. I personally
would not worry about using it, if it does the job (and without any heating) |
Re: 1/4 inch hole in shifting tower sloppy I have seen those holes and the slots drilled/ground to fit 5/16" drill bits, I would prefer you use the drill bit as they last a long time

Re: 1/4 inch hole in shifting tower sloppy I see no reason to soften the pin - just use a cut-off wheel to carve a piece off the end of it . ;)

Re: 1/4 inch hole in shifting tower sloppy What B & S said... I did that on my shifter; works well.
