It's easy - remove the C-ring (it's nice to have the correct pliers for this) slide off the shift shaft remove the pivot "bolt" add some loctite and re-install with a 17mm box/open-end wrench. Grease the shaft as it goes back together.

Worth a look.....

CBJR,

Thanks for the heads up.....us new guys need and appreciate these little "insights"!!!!!!!
