Shift Linkage Pin

Alright, I think i posted my tranny problem up on here but if not heres my problem:

i was driving down the road, and i was gettin on it, got into VTEC and all the sudden the tranny would not go into gear, well it finally did....Now it takes like the godly strength of man to get it to go into gear, now it stays in gear when its in, no grinds or nothing....

So I narrowed down the problem, its either A - My Shift Fork or B - The stabilizer pin that goes into the shift linkage.

Clutch is fine and so is tranny...

Now this is the firs time i have ever messed with the shift linkage and i was told there was a pin in the shift rod that stabilizes it for smooth shifts, and when its gone its hard as hell. Alot of my friends said, after alot of hard shifting the pin will break and fall out (my problem im having now)...

Pics:



Does it look like i have that pin? I cant tell from the pictures in the haynes manual, its too small..

Yea the pin is in there and looks good, other than it looks as if its been hit a couple of times. Is it messed up in all gears or just one?? How about when the car is off?

Its fine when the car is sitting, i can go throgh all the gears fine...and when i dont go past 4500K but when im getting on it and want to switch gears, its not gonna go, im thinking its the fork, but thats fine because I had someone push the clutch in and the arm is moving fine. So its got to be the throwout bearing or the actual clutch because its chattering like hell in launch in 1st gear. So im gonna replace that bad boy with an upgrade anyone got any suggestions that wont snap my axles when i wanna launch at 4k?

what is your set up? I am very doubtful that you will break any axles .

You'll be fine on stock axles. I launched at 5k, on drag radials and nitrous, and my axles are fine.

Yea my thoughts exactly.............. I launch at 6k with M/T 22.0/8.0/15 slicks with 75 shot and not a single problem!!

Does anyone know what size punch to remove the "bitch pin"? I tried for 2 hours last night dropping my tranny, and i hate this thing....haha

you might want to check your slave cyclender. I had a problem like this in my 300zxt. When i canged my clutch the slave couldn't handle the presure of the new clutch. and then it blow up on the parkway

The problem was my clutch, it was shot, put the Clutch Masters Stage 1 in....car grabs 4TH!!!!
