The pin will come out either way. Usually use a pin punch and tap it
upwards, then clean out the grease and retrieve the pin..Not a big deal. I
sometimes reverse the cup on the shaft..Seems to be tighter that way on the
shift rod shaft.

Subject: shifter ball and cup - cuup removal

Bentley doesn't say mucha bout driving out the pin that holds the cup to the
end of the shift lihkage.  Anyone have any advice on removing the cup?

Thanks in advance,
