The Grade 8 Bolt is not hard enough to last. The pins that came in it are Hard Steel like a Bearing roller.

Thy may be to soft. You can get Hard pins through Fastenal if you look for them.
But for now just keep an eye on them to see ?

Superfox did you use the factory pins? They are roller bearings, I have used hardened dowel pins when I had to and they are  very close to bearing material. I haven’t been able to get pins out that are below the surface either. If they stick up any I place a small piece of metal around the stub and weld to the pin. Then weld a pulling bolt to that and heat the shifter until pin is anealed and won’t break. When the trany is reasembeled check the throw on the levers and make sure it detents  on the shift collars and diamonds aren’t tight against case. May have have to grind a bit off the diamond to get a bit of play. Even new shifters can have this issue.

I did and it worked, it was confusing and I'm pretty good at fickson tangs
My problem was one broke off half way down in hole at angle and even with drill press it was too much trouble. They are hard pins
