11. Now we move to the internal shift lever. First thing, is to remove the locking pin. Press on the outside of the internal cylinder with your finger to release pressure on the pin and it’ll slide out nice and easy. The screwdriver slot on it is only used to help re-align the locking pin hole during reassembly.
12. Then reach in with your finger, under the fork and behind the differntial gear ring and push the cylinder out from the backside.
13. You can now remove the lever. It rests on 2 spherical pivot points. Once removed, re-insert the cylinder and place it on your workbench in the same orientation it was in. Don’t lose the locking pin.
14. Now comes the dirtiest part of the job…the magnetic drain plug ring. Remove the drain plug bolt, then just grab the magnetic ring and pull out.
