I bought a rebuilt txmn rather than have mine repaired. In preparing for the swap I ran into a little problem. The clutch release lever on my 79 transmission has a pin holding it onto the clutch release cross shaft. pic 1
note hole at end of scredriver. My cross shaft has a groove for the pin but the replacement transmission shaft does not. The replacement is from a 1983. The pin is not shown in PET and not referenced in Bentley (301-5).

I am planning to swap the crosshafts, still I wonder why the change. The older transmission clutch release lever is better secured on the 79 than the 83 and the question remains, which is best. I am filp flopping on the issue. Any advice from somebody who has done it before?
