Remove shift yoke from transmission

[Ionstorm66]

So I am trying to track down my sloppy shifter, and it ends up being the bolt that goes though the shift yoke. Problem is the bolt head is right up the the drive shaft. Also I'm worried the yoke is wallered out from being loose. The donor car has zero play in the yoke.

 

Issue is the yoke has a roll pin holding to the shift shaft. Will I hurt the trans by tapping out the roll pin? Also there is a leak on shift shaft, can the seal be replaced from the out side?

Yes you can drive out the pin. 

They all leak from the shift shaft seal. They start leaking there as soon as you sign the papers. They are a pain to replace and will just leak again in about.... 3 miles. I've seen 2019 STI's with less than 5k miles and the shift shaft seal already leaking. It's pretty much a waste of effort.

So got the one off my car. Figured out why it was so hard.

 

So my car had a roll pin a roll pin. It has the a 12mm head shouldered bolt with no bushing.

 

The 86 donor had a single roll pin. It has a 9/16 head grade 8 bolt and a steel bushing. 

 

Obviously the standard bolt and steel bushing was someones fix. Is the double pin normal?

They are supposed to have a double roll pin. I generally knock them out together.

I ended up putting both. Also I found that with the stock yoke bolt, a section of 3/8 ID vinyl hose with 3/8 flat washers on both sides of the yoke, fit perfectly. I can now tell what gear I'm in by looking at the shifter!
