Help Pls...Lost a Floor Shifter Part

[ed1948]

The pin that is depressed to unlock the shifter is missing and it may have hitched a ride on a rag I was using to depress the pin. Anyone have an idea of the length of this pin?
Thanks

Ed, I have a shifter here, but that pin disappears into the shifter lever, so I can't tell how long it is.

If my memory is correct the roll pin is 1/8" x 3/4"

I'm not sure if I explained it well...it's connected to the thumb button and runs through the shifter shaft to release a latch. Basically when the shifter handle is off the pin(looks like beige plastic) sticks out of the hollow shaft.

Is this what your meaning Ed....

The plastic pin is 4 3/4" long

Thanks for the pic and length info. If I don't find the pin I know how to make the part. I am able to actuate the shifter with a long thin screwdriver inserted into handle. I hope it rolled under the pass seat and once I get the interior pieces,stored inside the car, installed it will show up.

Found it, 2 feet behind the car!

Were the little feet still running?
