Bitch pins are really not that difficult to get out if you use the right tools and have enough space underneath the car to swing a hammer a few times. 3/8ths drop in punch used for electrical work does the trick just right. Perfect OD to push the bitch pin out. You can find those fasteners on amazon for like 5 dollara.
Well, regardless of how easy it is to remove that still doesn't fix the fact that it's a slightly loose point in the linkage that induces some shifter play. Plus I hate wailing on the transmission with a hammer. I've come across a few in junkyards that no amount of beating would remove...
This is great. If you haven't already been advised to do so, consult with a patent attorney, or do a good deal of the preliminary research yourself. I can only see this selling very well. Maybe not in the hundreds of millions, but it should fatten your wallet noticeably. If you had a marketable unit ready I'd definitely buy one. As it is, and as much as I like OEM parts, I just watched a video for Energy Suspension's replacement bushing product and I think that's going to find its way onto my '95 Civic really soon. Do you have a mount for the other end of the linkage to further snug the shifter? I wish you'd waited to post as part of an actual product launch. : / You suck. Ha! Ingeniously conceived. Best wishes for huge success!
theoriginalbillholt Thanks for the kind words! I have always wanted this product, and have made it really for myself. I have heard the complaints of others, however, and will be willing to sell them! We actually have an update; a new version of the product has been designed and is now being produced for sale!

Chalres Andrew you certainly can, and I've tried that, but it will never make a solid and slop free connection. This solution makes it easier to remove AND tightens the shift feel. Here's the final version that's been for sale for a while now. I never ended up selling them as designed in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zySrV9CJJwY.html
Cameron Grady I've also tried replacing with a 12mm 🔩 but it still had allot of free play. What I did was create a sleeve using a piece of nickel tubing. Thankfully my dremel came in handy for this project.
I checked out the Cheddas Auto link. I'm quite surprised that there isn't an offering for a package that fits 'newer' old Civics like my '95. I think these generations are immensely popular and still quite plentiful on the road. Maybe the selection has been expanded while the page hasn't been updated to reflect that. His product looks quite good, but availability is key. : /
