[Healeys] Clutch fork bushings

[Ron Mitchell]

I just tried to replace those bushings on my Side Shift Transmission.  The tapered pin is supposed to be removed from the transmission side of the Bell Housing.  The only problem is the pin is soft and the pin mushroomed larger than the hole in the Fork and Shaft.  I ended up having to drill the pin from the engine side of the Bell Housing.  The drill drifted which permitted it to exit on the Trans. side of the fork off center.  I than cut the end of the pin flush with the fork I was then able to extract the remains of the tapered pin out the engine side of the BH.  Now that the pin was extracted the easy part should be to remove the shaft and install new bushings.  Not for me.  The shaft was seized in the fork and after carefully trying to hammer it out I determined that I was doing unrepairable harm to the shaft.  I was able to obtain the correct sized tapered pin from ACE Hardware.  I believe it was a no. 02 x 2.00 long tapered pin.  I inserted the pin.  Filed it smooth on the engine side of the fork and and am willing to live with the slopping bushings.  I know this doesn't help but I had to tell someone.  Wasted two days and ended where I started.  No cigar.
If anyone can tell me how to remove the shaft I still have the opportunity to do that before attaching the transmission to the engine.
Question?  Does anyone know the purpose of the screw in the end of the shaft?

I need to replace these on my sideshift transmission. Have it out and bellhousing off but before I damage something is the pin referred to as "taper pin" driven out from the transmission side through access hole in mating surface? Any pointers?
Another question, Can the throttle crossshaft bushings be replaced with the clutch inplace or is this not obstructing access?

TIA
