[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1342530, member: 277"] Actually, you can over tighten the shouldered bolt. If the wave washer is even mostly flattened it will bind enough that the shift drum will not come back to a neutral position all the time. When you go to shift there will be no gear there until you return the shift lever to the neutral position with you toe. Edit: To Fred's point below, my '04 would be almost impossible to move the shift lever with shoulder bolt even slightly snug. I just tightened the bolt until the wave washer would start to compress and then trusted locktite to keep the bolt in place. It worked with no problems for 110k miles. [/QUOTE]
