Default C5 zo6 shift box alignment

Having trouble getting the neutral lock pin to push down. It is VERY stiff and currently sitting in penetrating oil. Any advice? Thanks you!

I had to use a punch and small hammer to get it to move fully in to place.

The pin is an alignment "gauge tool". It's purpose is to set the shifter, as it's installed in the shift box, into the true neutral position. If the pin doesn't easily drop into the alignment holes, then you need to loosen the clamp that holds the shifting rod in position, adjust the shaft that's in the shift box, so the alignment pin drops into place, then tighten the clamp back up.

Yeah, just got this and thought the first one didn’t post. Couldn’t figure out how to delete it. But regarding the pin and alignment, I did finally get it figured out.
