Transmission shift lever adjustment

Post by Pda1122 »

What’s the trick to adjusting the lever? I unscrewed the bottom bolt, pryed the coupler and hammered lightly to no avail. Is it a bad idea to spray wd40?

Remove it and then replace in your required position.

Some lube would not hurt.

Are you able to see any gap when prying it apart?

Take the bolt all the way out or you risk damaging the knurling on the shift shaft. Then hit it with some penetrating oil and it should come off fairly easily. With the bolt out you can pry open the clamp easily far enough to get it off.

Careful spreading the “jaws” too much. You can crack the clamp right at the weld. No reliable repair for that.

I was able to get it with lots of penetrating lube and patience. I can now feel comfortable with my new fly boots! Thank you very much!

Did you have boots before?

I was wondering why one would change the position.

That is what I started thinking. You have to ride differently with boots on. It takes some getting used to.
