It has come time to replace those sad little bushings on the selector shafts
or our 4 speed.

Can anyone share their thoughts regarding the best method to remove the pin
holding the shaft in the selector lever? (Talking about way back at the
transmission here.)

Also, how much play is to be expected at the ball and socket joint between
the 'selector lever' and the 'gearshift lever'?
