so i finally got around to picking up and installing a new roll pin. I picked up a 7/32" and 1/4" pin (1.25" long).

The 7/32" fit inside but was too loose and would slip out with shifting. The 1/4" didn't exactly fit either (a little too big). The pin goes in such a crappy place it's impossible to get a good angle to set it properly. I finally ended up taking the arm (part that connects the peg to the cable) off the transmission and getting the pin started in there. Had to put the pin in a vise to get it a little smaller too.. Put the arm back on the transmission and could only get the pin about 1/2 way in... At that point I decided to try expand the 7/32" pin instead, but the 1/4" is stuck in there damn good. There's no play now, but i'm just worried about it backing out eventually.

Is there a better way to get the pin inside? Should I have stuck with the 7/32" in the first place and tried to open it up a bit to fit snug?

Thought this would be simple job but ended up spending more than an hour trying to get the stupid pin in... >.<
