Fzj80 A/T shift linkage removal (1 Viewer)

[Jrom]

I'm replacing mine right now but I can't figure out how to get the set rod out of the oem one in the trans. I know it's threaded but its not allen head and hollow. and can't get anything on it. How did you get yours out? Did you drill it? I'd like to avoid drilling being inside the trans and all. Help would be much appreciated!

Were those dings on the present when you first removed it?

Can you post up another photo taken from a bit further back to show the entire assembly?

Figured it out. So it is a roll pin, confused me since the replacement part looked threaded plus the photo above it that gentlemen had a threaded piece going into it but when I took it to match the threads it wasn't threaded enough for anything to fit. Guess it was just the tool they used to drill it. Those marks were from me removing the sleeve that goes over it to get to the pin.

@Jrom : Got a photo of the repair/replacement showing the roll pin in/out?

I don't but its super easy, punch out the roll pin (put a paper towel underneath so you don't lose it in the trans, then the rod will come out the shift level side and the new one will slide in!
