[TR] Gearshift detent covers

You know, those miniature freeze plugs that go in the underside of the
gearbox cover and hold the little detent springs and balls.

Anyway, in order to install the overdrive interlock switch on the
gearbox cover, I need to locate the spot where the 3-4 shaft has the
recess, and then drill and tap a hole through the top of the cover.
And in order to do that, I need to remove the shaft.  And in order to
do that, I need to remove the detent pieces.

That part is easy.

But in order for it to work again, I need to put those detent pieces
back in.  And those little plugs are NLS at he big three parts guys...

Any suggestions?

I've thought about a setscrew ground down to the correct thickness,
but that's a last resort if I'm overlooking the easy way out...
