NOTE: Do not drive the manual control shaft pin through the manual control shaft. The manual control shaft pin will contact the transmission case causing damage to the transmission case.

NOTE: If the roll pin remover does not pull the roll pin far enough to clear the manual shaft, the roll pin can be pulled from the TR sensor with a pair of locking pliers.

Using the roll pin remover, remove and discard the TR sensor roll pin.
