While cycling this weekend my FD stop shifting. On inspecting I found that a "pin" is missing. Is it possible to repair or do I buy new one. FD just over year old.

You could try an appropriate sized cap screw(allen key head) with a matching nut and some tiny washers.

 

Have replaced many broken pins with small stainless cap screws try it you don't have much to loose just remember to loctite the nut in place with appropriate tension so der can still move.

It looks like it needs a special (riveted) pin that steps down, the diameter of the hole in the outer bracket is bigger than that of the inner pivot, so regular bolt might not be a solution, although a machinist could turn some that would work. It's not listed as a part in the SRAM Parts catalog (Pg 10)

 

Since its + year old I dont think you have a case as warranty swop out. Even if it was listed as a part, I have had no luck getting spares here (ie X0 Twister parts), and forced to replace the units.
