Drive the shift lever swivel pin out, lift the shift lever up & out, use a long bar to line up all 3 shift rails, replace the shift lever & pin.
There are small metal plugs at each end of the shift lever swivel pin (IH part # 172529). I have seen the pin replaced by a longer bolt with a nut securing it in place.

I agree and I will also add that if the pin is worn it can make the lever pop out of the slots in the tops of the rails. I bought a sloppy shifter repair kit on ebay recently for my 300 and it has made a world of difference. $20 very well spent.

You can run a little weld on the end of the shifter, then grind it smooth. Makes it a little longer and it wont jump out.
