Seen it a couple of times and do you know what causes it?
When you pull the transmission cable through the shifters, allowing the cable to go around the curve of the shifter, as you pull, then the cable will be warped every time. To avoid, make sure that you are pulling the cable through a hole ONLY. Do not allow the cable to pull through the hole and around the shifter barrel.
Can't offer any information about the bars, though.
