ok.

i did it....but the level went forward as soon as i loosened it. i put it back but found that even with moderate tightening the lever become very stiff....too stiff to change gears. is there supposed to be a washer of some kind that allows for the tightening, without constriction of movement? it just seems like i should be able to tighten this screw more without immobilizing the shifter....

thanks.
