I just pulled the shifter and the pin that connects the lower part of the shift lever to the round cross shaft is gone. Looks like it needs a 1/4 x 1.25 clevis pin? Since the repair is so simple...

It shifted pretty poorly when it was in the car on the M21. Reverse and first were "slam and pray". It looked like it was hanging up on the old bubba'd tranny mount, so I'm not sure that the old...
