does it look like it's ever been apart before? How many miles? They look to be in great shape. Pins that ride in the shift drum look good too?
May as well inspect the pins
Those hairpins that retain the pins are easy to remove.
Nope, these don't run down the hall with scissors. They only attempt to change quantum states during removal. Installation is close to failsafe; locate the clip then push straight in, no tools needed...just thumb pressure.Easy to remove, hard to find, got it. Do these also require replacement once removed, like the c-clips?
