Help, SS adjustment gone bad....
Was adjusting my AMS 6 spd SS(after 1st install).
While breaking loose my 6mm allen bolts from my shift rods(top one) the allen key slipped and damaged the allen bolt. Now I have only minimal leverage on the key/bolt connection as the allen bolt was worn off in the process.
Dont think the bolt can sustain anymore torque before fully wearing out. Any advice on how I can remove this bolt?

That area isn't the best for using allen wrenches.....
try sears or home depot, and get yourself an allen socket set. Use the 6mm allen socket and a 6-9" extension, I bet you'll get it no problem.
