Hey, my shifter roll pin broke, shifter rolls all around. Where in h@ll do I buy a new one. It could only be a $5 piece, if that, but without, the shifter rolls all around. I have checked about every online place I could find and no one lists it. Anyhow, thanks. Scotty

Check novak-adapt.com they have rebuild kit for T-18's so they might have those. Also Mepco in Salt Lake City used to carry ones that had a square end for a tighter fit.

Try Ken Miller at Inland truck parts in missoula mt 406-728-7413. He has found parts for trannys and obsolete diffs ect when no one else could. price is fair and knows his shit.

I´m sure a standard dowel pin will work.

Mine's a cut off chunk of drill bit :D (one benefit of cheapo HF drill bits, it doesn't hurt a bit to cut one up for parts.)

A roll pin works good to just use a hardened one. I did and it has worked for years.

you could also use a counter shaft needle bearing from a t-18 rebuild kit. Just have to trim it down a little and it will work.

I went to my local Ford dealership and picked one up. They had an exploded view of the tranny and I pointed out to them what I needed. I think it was $3. If I remember correctly I tried to make one out of a regular roll pin and it didn't work. I think it's flat on one side and round on the other.,
