1958 66 Thunderbird Shift Hub Repair

This video explains how to repair a moderately worn out shift lever roll pin hole in the shift hub. If the roll pin hole is excessively worn out, then this will probably not help.

Nick,
I was not aware that repro shift hubs were sold by T-Bird vendors. That info alone was worth watching this vid. Good job, my friend.
Regards,
John

Hello Nick. Thanks for the tip on this. Could you also drill out the shift hub and shift lever and use a slightly larger diameter roll pin? I haven't tried this repair on my car, but it was just a thought.

Hey George, yes you could. Ive done that before too a long time ago. I stopped doing it though probably because once the hole in the shift hub gets big enough, it compromises the whole area. Something like that. Also, they were available new so I just bought those. Thanks, Nick
