My pin fell off while driving 2 years ago. I lifted the car on the side of the road and noticed that the shift linkage had disconnected. I was able to put it 4th gear without the pin in, and drove back home in that same gear all the way. Once I got home, your video helped me assess the situation, understand the problem and fix it. Since then, I inspect the pin every oil change, making sure it stays in place. Thanks a bunch man.

Did your shifter go back into place after you put pin and clip on?

@unclechunky4615

Жыл бұрын

@@Fentfiend12 Yes. The mechanism that manages the shifter positions is within the transmission, so once the shifter shaft is linked to the transmission thanks to the pin, the shifter will move according to what the mechanism within the transmission allows it to. Hope this helped.

I used a Phillips head screwdriver and it did the trick but it was a lot of pounding before it broke loose, I’m putting it back in now; decided to try and stick it in the freezer and see if it’ll shrink and make going back in a little easier lol, we shall see... It worked out amazingly, I’m having a harder time with the clamp now than I did with the roll pin lol.

It’s worth a shot it’s just such a tight space and awkward angle to work if you don’t have a lift but it’ll eventually go back in, good luck.

Well just got mine out. I used a 6mm bolt from a lawn chair. Bought a 2.5 lb mini sledgehammer. I braced the black bar with small piece of 2x4 wood, to frame of the car. Less chance of damage/ vibration well.

If anyone is looking for a bolt to use to knock it out, take out one of the 4 bolts for the ac compressor and use it. Just did it at the junk yard and didn't ruin the bolt

I have a integra 91 but my question is My shifter stick is hanging from the bottom when I look underneath and I believe it stayed in 1st gear when the bottom part of the shifter stick went loose so therefore I turn off the car and pushed it the rest of the way what went wrong bad bushing? Not enough fluids?? First ever car newbie too lol thanks

@RiggsGarage

Hrmmm might get under there and wiggle stuff around. Kind of hard to say if I can't see it. If we're talking manual transmission here the fluid's probably not going to make anything that you're saying happen, but do make sure it has fluid lol
