column shift pin

[1tuff71]

Anyone know what size pin holds the shifter in the column. I tried a 3/4 pinch pin and its a bit too big and 3/16 is too small. WTH ?? PO had a nail in there and that don't fly.

To save the $8 ++, find a drill bit whose shank fits. Cut--grinder--shank to proper length. Friction should hold it in. A hint to get a tighter fit would be to use a numbered set to find the precise size you want. 89 cents vs $8? Yep, I'd do that!

That's a good idea, I think I will try that cause my shifter is a little wobbly as well.

Remember the end of shifter arm has a spring on it.
