What pressure are you shifting at? We sheared off that roll pin in one of our Gen 2 shifters last year. Shifting these things at 60PSI is a big no-no. When I asked Andy Baker, I seem to remember him saying that 25PSI is more than sufficient. Though I guess it shouldn't be surprising that applying that much force to one of those pins would wreck it (as anybody who had difficulty assembling Toughboxes this year will tell you), it'd be a nice warning to have in the documentation.
