Yes, use a small bit, the metal is not hard so a regular bit works fine, just grab a pack of extra small cotter pins at either the hardware store or auto parts storeYep, thanks! I did see the Fitzall #T74498-1A. Not sure if that is the one you used.
It looked the most promising of the bunch, but unfortunately it's not getting here until the 10th or so.
So you have to drill out the nipple on the shift lever?

I bought this pack because had a selection of small cotter pins as well as other parts that come in handy sooner or later
