Well the car went about 70 miles before failure. The pin has been in for a few thousand miles. I got the yellow gear and then the red gear. Parked the car stuck in gear.

It took Matthew and I about 90 minutes to get the transmission out.

I have always hated those brass pivot pins. They cost a lot more than the genuine plastic one, marketed as being better yet they seem always fail and disappoint. When I did my trans out service this past January, my genuine plastic had minimal wear at 107K miles lots of city driving. I could have thrown it back in there for another 100K miles especially since now I do more highway miles. With this much wear, it could easily cause premature slave failure (over extension) and soon after possibly a contaminated clutch and other mechanical issues. I fear those things LOL
