You'll find them behind the "D" thrust plate on the outside of the transmission (output side). Lightly press outward two white retaining plastic tabs to gain access. Your drive wheels will lock up if you don't remove these pins when you reduce power or stop.

That is the thing. We did take out the pins and we could only find one spring in there and it was taken out in the begining and it is still hard to shift and again, so far we cant shift..
