I was just asking to see if you could share the P/N for future reference.

Appears it might be 94305-50252. Is that correct? I do not think it is the other pin in the shift arm diagram (24413-PCY-003)

Not sure on the part number but il post pics tommo as I will get it tommo from Honda.

It's SUPPOSED to fail on an overload scenario genius. It's designed to fail before you start bending other bits of the gear box that are much more expensive to fix.

This is stupid and you should and feel stupid for typing it out.

You seemed to misunderstand the main point of bashing a hardware store part, as if it's inferior to the honda part.
Also, since you're a transmission engineer... if that part didn't fail, what would break/bend instead? Be curious to hear an engineer's version of what would happen.

Pot, Kettle, black. lol

here is the part and number

Sure, I guess if you have time to take your measuring calipers down to the hardware store and hope that one of the 5-10 types of tension pins they have in the bin is the EXACT size of the part that you need and is made from similar or better steel than the OEM material.

Just seems like a much bigger gamble to go with the hardware store tension pin which has relatively zero history of performing vs. just going with the Honda part in hundreds of S2000's that hit the track every year with less than 1% of them failing.

Why reinvent the wheel with something with a much less known history of performance?

Driven. If that pin did not fail, I would easy broke a fork or two and a synchro. Not to mention all the metal bits flying inside the fluid then damaging the bearings or even worse, getting clogged into the main shaft oil drive and damaging the entire main shaft.

yes. Il stick my money to the Honda engineers.
