Windshield wipers mystery
I recently purchased a new (used) windshield wiper transmission for my 72 Cutlass. I purchased it off of eBay. The problem I was having was the ball on the windshield wiper motor kept slipping off. The new one fixed the problem. My question is the new one has like a key in the notches were the windshield wiper fits over it. My windshield wiper arm will not fit over this. Can somebody tell me what this is for, and do I have to buy a special windshield wiper arm to fix this problem. I will add pictures to show you the problem.

You'll need a wiper arm style that has the cutout for the pin/notch/key.
