How To Remove / Re-Install Honda Shift Linkage "B****" Pin!

- This tip applies to Honda Civic and other Honda or Acura manual transmission vehicles (probably other brands too). This car is my 1993 Civic DX Hatchback.
I was doing a clutch job and learned this new trick from VHB Engines on TH-cam - so I thought I'd do a condensed version to help you get the job quick.
Here's the video I learned this from:

Thanks for all the support! If you’re enjoying my videos and you would like to help out so that I can make even better videos, check out the link below! www.paypal.me/RiggsGarage
My pin fell off while driving 2 years ago. I lifted the car on the side of the road and noticed that the shift linkage had disconnected. I was able to put it 4th gear without the pin in, and drove back home in that same gear all the way. Once I got home, your video helped me assess the situation, understand the problem and fix it. Since then, I inspect the pin every oil change, making sure it stays in place. Thanks a bunch man.
The c clip is to hold it in? Buy a c clip
Heck yeah! Glad to help
Did your shifter go back into place after you put pin and clip on?
@@Fentfiend12 Yes. The mechanism that manages the shifter positions is within the transmission, so once the shifter shaft is linked to the transmission thanks to the pin, the shifter will move according to what the mechanism within the transmission allows it to. Hope this helped.
Yeah this fell out while driving somehow
That's amazing and horrible. What on Earth happened?
Same. 99 civic.
Same happened to me 3 times
Yea just happened to me where’d you get a new one

I used a Phillips head screwdriver and it did the trick but it was a lot of pounding before it broke loose, I’m putting it back in now; decided to try and stick it in the freezer and see if it’ll shrink and make going back in a little easier lol, we shall see... It worked out amazingly, I’m having a harder time with the clamp now than I did with the roll pin lol.
mine wont even start in the hole really thought about just swapping it for a bolt and nut and calling it quits but ive thought about the freezer trick going to go ahead and throw it in the freezer hopefully it works
It’s worth a shot it’s just such a tight space and awkward angle to work if you don’t have a lift but it’ll eventually go back in, good luck.
i thought about freezing it halfway through the install
Well just got mine out. I used a 6mm bolt from a lawn chair. Bought a 2.5 lb mini sledgehammer. I braced the black bar with small piece of 2x4 wood, to frame of the car. Less chance of damage/ vibration well.
Good notes, thank you
Thank you justinstalled all my upgrades with the bushings
Smart man
Liked your video brother, when I replaced bushings noticed C-clip is gone think I can use a regular hose clamp to hold this pin in place?
Thanks! I think a hose clamp would be a good replacement just to make sure that pin never comes out
Use a 3/16 quarter inch socket and a 2lb sledge and it comes off easily. Been doing it like that for years.
Sounds like a good solution
Thank u for the video ,help me alot
I'm glad it was helpful, Thanks for watching
Hell yea! Thanks for the help
Welcome, Thanks for watching!
I just replaced my oil base pan and I hadda take off my linkage to get my case pan off … 2005 Honda Civic 1.7 automatic…is there a certain way to adjust it ..since it got out back together my tranny and gearing in longer reving and hesitant to shift in next gear ..is there anything I can adjust ? I watched this video cuz it sounded like what I needed to see but there isn’t no way too fool up in reconnecting the linkage ?
This video covers the manual transmission through 2000, your 2005 with an automatic is a different setup unfortunately, not quite sure how to help you on this one. Good luck with the project!
Mine came loose in my driveway. That was more than luck. Pin was still in boot but clip gone. temp fixed by using a hose clamp to keep it in. New parts arrived a few days later.
Man that's lucky, I'm glad it stayed around in the boot!
I lucked out on my civic.
It had a bolt and nut instead of a pin so was easy to drop the linkage 🤣
Somebody previously suffered and was very kind to you 😂
I saw your comment and literally stopped what I was doing and put a spare nut and bolt in instead. Turned it from 20 minutes and 15 f bombs to 30 seconds lol. Thanks valerie!
@@RiggsGarage wouldnt that just make the shifter sloppy?
@@kojomega99 it could if you don't use the right bolt
@@RiggsGarage ohhh thanks man and nice video btw
I have a integra 91 but my question is My shifter stick is hanging from the bottom when I look underneath and I believe it stayed in 1st gear when the bottom part of the shifter stick went loose so therefore I turn off the car and pushed it the rest of the way what went wrong bad bushing? Not enough fluids?? First ever car newbie too lol thanks
Hrmmm might get under there and wiggle stuff around. Kind of hard to say if I can't see it. If we're talking manual transmission here the fluid's probably not going to make anything that you're saying happen, but do make sure it has fluid lol
@@RiggsGarage fuck alright lol thanks that make sense and it is manual transmission
May just need new bushing and tighten up hope that's it thanks anyways G lol
@@Kushalien51_nv Yeah that bushings probably shot being 30 years old!
Hi my car doesn't shift to gear 4 and 5 I have to push it hard, what could be the problem it's my first Honda ballade luxline 150i
I'm not sure on that issue, sorry 😔
driving last night and going into gear didnt feel right at all so i tried again and the car was struggling to go (probably stuck halfway out and halfway in gear) and then the shifter is just went loose and think it got stuck in gear cuz i couldnt push the car this is my first manual car ill take any advice but im guessing it is shift linkage
Yeah, might crawl under the car and pull on the shifter lever to get it in neutral and see what's up.
Might be. Exact same thing happened to me with my 99 civic. The pin had slipped out of the hole.
@@RiggsGaragemine broke while I was in 3rd how do I use the shift lever to put it in neutral?
If anyone is looking for a bolt to use to knock it out, take out one of the 4 bolts for the ac compressor and use it. Just did it at the junk yard and didn't ruin the bolt
Perfect junkyard solution 👍👍
Question, I have a Honda pilot 2006 and I shift gears on it (drive, reverse, 1, 2) and the car goes limp and doesn’t move, the engine revs up but remains stationary. Would that be a problem with the entire piece of the linkage or something else? Thanks
Not sure on that one, completely different vehicle. Sounds like it needs some transmission attention though
Sounds like you need a torque converter or you’ve ate up your gears.
Does it thump in gear if linkage is off? Anyone know
Not sure if I'm following, it won't get into gear if you can't shift into gear with the shifter if the linkage is disconnected
Just did this on my integra and now know why it’s called a bitch pin
I don’t have that rubber dust boot that goes on by bitch pin do you think it’s a necessity ? I’m about to do a swap and it’s my first time I’m hoping my car works after lol
It's just there to keep dirt out. You'll likely be fine. May be able to nab a universal one from parts store to slide on there? Worth a look. Thanks for watching!
@@RiggsGarage thank you so much for the info I'm subscribing
I have parts building up for an EG hatch build, stay tuned :)
Riggs Garage I’ll be watching closely I’m building an ek sedan it’s my first car it crapped out on me but I love this civic and this community is so strong!

What size was the roll pin?
Hi, not sure at this point, it was roughly a quarter inch bolt from my random bolt bin. Really anything smaller than the hole that the pin lives in, but big enough to hit the whole pin.
8mm ~5/16" punch
Is there a trick to attaching the other part of the linkage to the transmission?
The shift rod should just slide on, not sure if I understand the whole question
@@RiggsGarage ok, it’s a very tight fit so would replacing the bushings help that?
Is this an automatic or manual transmission
Manual transmission
My shift linkage is crooked, too far to the right. My first gear looks like if it’s in neutral. How could I fix this
It's pretty hard for me to help you without seeing it, did you figure it out?
@@RiggsGarage still have no figured it out
Did you figure it out?
I can Barely tell what’s going on
What year Honda is this?
This is a 93
Ain't no fkn way 'my' pin going back so Smoove
Oh hell no!
I'm thinkn' C-clamp🙏
🤣🤣 do it
Bahahahaha
Thanks my dumbass was trying an trying I had forgotten to take the damn c clip off. ...
But let's not think about that. Great vid thanks for the upload.
Love peace and axle grease brother
Haha! I know how it goes, have a good one!
I Did the same thing last night
Will changing the bitch pin fix my sloppy shifter when in gear?
Probably not, unless you see play in that pin. More likely your shifter bushings are shot, grab some polyurethane ones off Amazon from energy suspension for like $10 👍👍
@@RiggsGarage already did that still the same. Im thinking its the shift linkage joint
@@matthewtawagon7908 sounds like you need to have somebody running the shifter and then poke your head under the car and see where the sloppiness is
@@matthewtawagon7908 You can put the U joints into a table vice and squeeze them until they are tight again. This will fix the slop and will save you from buying a new linkage joint entirely.
