 George,

I've found that Shifter assemblies with high mileage, or used in a dirty/sandy environment have several other areas of wear:
  • The most notable one being the Shaft-pivot.  This item wears both the shaft, and more importantly, the Aluminum casting in which it rides.  A full repair requires modification of both the ID and OD of these surfaces. 
  • The Spherical Bearing has some adjustment available, although minimum.
A major part of the Shifter repair problem is that you need access to a Machine Shop to do it correctly.  If you need more information or details, contact me off-line, by clicking on my member name to the left of this message, or check out: http://jhppg.com/pk0604.htm .
