Thanks for the informed response I hope I will be able to avoid some of wha=
t you have experienced. I now will apply heat to the joint in hopes of loos=
ening things up first. I have a few bellhousings so I can practice a little=
, all need the fork bushings to some extent except an older one that doesn'=
t have a shaft seal and I didn't want to use that type.=20
I see the manual calls the mystery screw the "clutch withdrawal fork screw"=
 doesn't make much sense unless it's meant to be a joke.=20
I hope we'll get some additional informed responses.=20

Good Luck.=20

I just tried to replace those bushings on my Side Shift Transmission. The t=
apered pin is supposed to be removed from the transmission side of the Bell=
 Housing. The only problem is the pin is soft and the pin mushroomed larger=
 than the hole in the Fork and Shaft. I ended up having to drill the pin fr=
om the engine side of the Bell Housing. The drill drifted which permitted i=
t to exit on the Trans. side of the fork off center. I than cut the end of =
the pin flush with the fork I was then able to extract the remains of the t=
apered pin out the engine side of the BH. Now that the pin was extracted th=
e easy part should be to remove the shaft and install new bushings. Not for=
 me. The shaft was seized in the fork and after carefully trying to hammer =
it out I determined that I was doing unrepairable harm to the shaft. I was =
able to obtain the correct sized tapered pin from ACE Hardware. I believe i=
t was a no. 02 x 2.00 long tapered pin. I inserted the pin. Filed it smooth=
 on the engine side of the fork and and am willing to live with the sloppin=
g bushings. I know this doesn't help but I had to tell someone. Wasted two =
days and ended where I started. No cigar.=20

If anyone can tell me how to remove the shaft I still have the opportunity =
to do that before attaching the transmission to the engine.=20

Question? Does anyone know the purpose of the screw in the end of the shaft=
?=20

I need to replace these on my sideshift transmission. Have it out and bellh=
ousing off but before I damage something is the pin referred to as "taper p=
in" driven out from the transmission side through access hole in mating sur=
face? Any pointers?=20
Another question, Can the throttle crossshaft bushings be replaced with the=
 clutch inplace or is this not obstructing access?=20

TIA=20
