    26. Object Number: 663682 Size: SH

    Notice: When removing the roll pins from the shift shafts use a punch that is a slightly smaller diameter than the roll pin. Flaring of the shift shaft groove may occur if the punch binds. This will result in extra effort to remove the shift forks or shift control levers. When double roll pins are used, remove both of the roll pins at the same time. Support the shift component when removing the roll pins to prevent damage to the shift shafts. Do not reuse the roll pins after removal.

    Important: The 4th/5th shift fork and the 2nd/3rd shift fork do not require removal from the shift shafts for transmission disassembly. Do not remove the roll pins from the 4th/5th shift fork and the 2nd/3rd shift fork unless replacing the shift forks or the shift shafts.
