    Important: When removing the roll pins from the shift shafts, use a punch that is a slightly smaller diameter than the roll pin. Flaring of the shift shaft groove may occur if the punch binds. This will result in extra effort to remove the shift forks or shift control levers. When double roll pins are used, remove both of the roll pins at the same time. Back-up the component when removing the roll pins to prevent damage to the shift shafts. Do not use the roll pins again after removal.
