slowandsteady,

I am looking at the Haynes and (if I understand you correctly) the rear shift rod has a hole in it and what Haynes calls a 'spring pin' secures it to the selector lever. The selector lever is the vertical one attached to the horizontal shaft in the gearbox.

Probably what we use to call a 'roll pin' (Split tubular steel pin.)

Must stress I am working only from a very small drawing. Have never done any thing to mine (yet).
