Reverse lock out changed out
 

Hey guys. Has anyone been able to find a replacement pin for the reverse lock out. I believe the dimensions we need is 3/32 and inch in length. I can find the correct size but not length. Any help would be appreciated!

I thought it was a different diameter but I don't have an accurate way to measure.

But if it is 3/32" them this place has it.

You want to be the guinea pig? Haha. Actually there's a store right next to me, I'll give them a call sometime to see if they carry it in store.

actually found a home depot that carries it. gonna try it out. what size did u think it was?

Nice, please update if it does work. That'd be awesome.

I measured it at 1/16th with a crappy ruler.

well do. let you know tmmr.

Why don't you just reuse the one you have? Or the dealer?

I believe he mentioned in another thread that he lost it. In my case, mine is all mangled up.

i might have a spare set. ill check when i get home

so i got it and 3/32 does fit the oem one. but for some damn reason it doesnt go into my perrin one as smoothly. either i am an idiot or the perrin lock out trollin me.

You get a dowel pin or spring pin? Oem is plastic perrin is aluminum. Maybe hole has tooling marks that are catching

re
 

i got a tension pin and thats what i assumed the oem one is by look/memory since i lost it. maybe ill have to check. thx for suggestion

Oem is a spring/tension pin

yeah so idk what the heck is going on because the tension pins i bought fit directly into the oem lock out. but doesnt fit into the perrin one -__-

Does perrin use grub screws instead?

it specifically says to reuse the oem pin. idk maybe its a manufacturer defect or something. because its seriously weird the pin slides into the oem one and locks but it wont even go in on the perrin one

Try squeezing it with pliers to get it started. DIY I just read said you have to tap it in with a hammer. My lockout was the same way but it's not Perrin

sorry - i thought i had two but only one

where did you get your spare pins from?

i work for a dealer

i just ordered a few of them. so if it works out im more than happy to give you one or two.

Which ones did you order? If they work let me know, I'm up for picking one or two from you :p

So there is a part number for thr pins? Or is it more a generic part that fits? I wasn't able to find the part on subaruparts

I'm lost on this one.

Is the reverse lock out the small piece of plastic that stops the less able selecting reverse when they didn't mean to?

Does changing out mean replacing?

Help.

yup, it's that plastic part. You don't need to replace the metal pin all the time. I know the Raceseng reverse lockout provides a quality threaded pin to use. Not sure about the Perrin lockout. My aliexpress lockout requires reuse of the stock pin.

Perrin reuses the stock pin apparently. I got my reverse lockout on eBay for $15 from Taiwan. Works fine, looks great. No reason to spend $80 on Perrin/Grimmspeed/Raceseng/etc unless you want a specific color or the name/logo on it. This part doesn't really break, people just do it for looks or feel

I thought this to and to a certain degree, those ones are a lot more expensive. The Raceseng one has an O-ring inside that really keeps the lockout solid, there's no play in it. Just wish it didn't have such a standout logo on it (had the silver to minimize it) and that the diameter wasn't larger up top (limited some shift knobs I tried using as it wouldn't fit in).

Mine is polished aluminum with no logos at all

I was tempted by the eBay one to go with my team voodoo shifter. 10 minute job to fit I guess

got the pins in yesterday, and it fit perfectly. lmk if u need one bro.

which pins did you order?
