[Mg-t] Gear Shift Lever

[Gable, Gerry]

I am removing my engine on my TC to clean it up and paint it.  I started to
take off the gear shifter and it seems to have more springs and washers in it
than noted in any diagram I can find. Does anyone have the correct
configuration for putting it back together?  Further, I have not been
successful in removing the two pins that hold it In place.  Is there a secret
technique to removing them?
Thanks
Gerry
