[QUOTE="pawtracks, post: 105354, member: 2116"] It was in there pretty tight when I took it apart. I cleaned up the threads a little with a wire brush, a tap and my shopvac to get rid of the old crusty threadlock and applied some new permatex blue threadlock. I might have tightened it a little less when going back together, hard to tell. It is nice and smooth though, good tip! It shortens the throw on the shift pedal. My improvement was a combination of three things: -R1 shift arm (shorter throw) -Clean & lube to smooth it out while getting a nice straight alignment of the shift rod -Shift pedal alignment (Adjust the pedal <see top post> to fit what feels best for you) [/QUOTE]
