Anyone had a rod change box where the little pin in the selector shaft is loose like the one on the right in the photo?
Once assemble the pin is held in by the outer sleeve.
This has not given me any problems. The box did about 5,000 miles like this.
Just curious about other peoples experiences.

Yeap, I've had a few like that. As long as it's not flopping about in the shaft, it'll be OK.
