oliver2-44 10,781 #2 Posted July 11 (edited) These are from a 3 speed transmission. The 2 shifter bearings are 1/4". Mine measure 0.247 The bearing usually can be hound at you hardware store (ace, etc) in all the those grey or brown drawers. The spring diameter is 0.245, length is 1.142, Spring wire dia. 0.040. The spring has 15 coils. Edited July 11 by oliver2-44 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,522 #3 Posted July 11 I do not know the length of the pin but this was previously posted It has be reported that the up to 1965 original stop pin part # 3573 is .695" long (11/16" = .6875") 1965-on revised stop pin # 5614 is .740" long (47/64" = .7344") .740" - .695" = .045" or approximately 3/64" longer 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 9,533 #8 Posted July 11 Welcome! WH made a change to the shift fork shafts to help with the cold weather problem of being stuck in two gears at once dur to "sticktion" of the gear oil in the shaft bores. They added a flat along its length to allow air & oil to escape ( and used the shorter pin as Garry mentioned). If it is still apart, consider it...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoube2 3 #9 Posted July 12 When I opened up the trans casing and took out all the gears there was no spring ball bearings or pin and this caused a lot of free play in the shift lever . My next question is where does the pin fit in? I have located the spring and balbearings .I will make a pin as you guys mentioned. I would like to know how to install the pin .
