Transmission Shift Fork Pins

[Steve Schmauch]

There is an easy solution. Take care in removing the original rivets. The flared end will close up as it is pushed upwards through the fork. To re-use the originals, I use a long thin drift placed upward in the hole and needle nose pliers to manuever the hole in the end of the pin so it slips onto the protruding drift. A screwdriver may be needed to push the pin down into its (former) position. Us a larger drift to carefully flare the end of the pin. It only needs to be loose fitting and flared only slightly, as Henry did it. Done this way the pin can be re-used several times. Really a simple job!
