i kno a couple people have done modifications to the roll pin to make it not break as often. what have you guys done

mine broke at 24000 miles, got it fixed and it broke again within 300 miles

 

on the diff in the trans right?? i think the should be a seperate chamber or a half wall or something sothe ring gear and spiders wont sling the oil out so quick... trapit but leave a small hole in the bottom of the wall but thats my 02.C

 

i think he is reffering to the shifter roll pin on the shift linkage on the tranny.

 

bingo

 

i havent had any probs with that....

 

Broken mine 3 times now. I used a tension pin. I got it from the hardware store. They seem to be ok.

 

holy wow, are you guys shifting really really hard?

 

yeah i havent had any problems here either

 

My friend broke his...the dealership warrantied it and so far no problems yet

 

mine's still fine, but I also shift like an old lady lol

 

Mine has gone 3 times now and i dont slam it into gear either, 2 of the times it broke i was just driving normally

 

no i shift like a 90 yr old grandma.... i aint got $$ to fix things if they break so i baby this car...

 

70,000 miles and I drive like a nut when at the track or a private street race. This has never broke on me. Remember, let the clutch engage BEFORE shifting

 

I guess i just shift hard. I am used to driving my Camaro. The T56 can handle harder throws.

 

I got a heavy duty roll pin from my buddy who works for a C balt race team and I hacked the rediculous weight off...and now im problem free. He told me the issue is that on some cars the hole wasnt drilled properly(not sure how it only happens to some) so as you put a new pin in its actually bending it so its weakened off the bat.

 

Something must be wrong with your car.

When I first had my SS/SC the shifter needed adjustment so I hit the stop several times trying to get into third. And I hit that bastard hard too, I nver had one issue with pins.

 

any help to where i can get one of these?

 

I'll find out from him....also I know of people that drill it out bigger and replace it with a grade 8 bolt

 

Anyone come up with more information on a fix for this? Mine was sliding out today and we tapped it back in, but it just came right back out. What size have people been drilling this out to and are you going through the wheel well to drill or taking out the fuse box and coming from above?
