I saw the info on how to make your own short throw shifter, however, it did not show the drill size for the hole.
Does anyone know what the drill size is for this pivot pin?

Memory is telling me it was 5/16" but you really need to check me on that. Some stuff was metric with the T5. Personally I'd have a machinist cut the hole for you. It needs to be done right the first time and it isn't all that easy to do with just a drill press.
