Abstract
A shift fork assembly includes a pin sized for clearance and a retainer clip to secure a shift fork to a shift rail. The shift rail has a transverse bore extending at least partially into the shift rail. The shift fork has an axial bore receiving the shift rail therethrough, and a transverse mount hole intersecting the axial bore. The pin extends through the mount hole and at least partially into the transverse bore. The pin is sized for clearance relative to the mount hole and the transverse bore to facilitate assembly. The retainer clip is affixed to the shift fork and engages the pin to retain the pin within the transverse bore.
