[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1395846, member: 19880"] I found that with my '07, the amount the pivot bolt was tightened was critical - after the first time I serviced it. If the wave washer is squashed flat, the whole mechanism does not move well. I take it apart about once every two years, clean it up thoroughly (pivot and linkages) and reassemble with some waterproof grease. For the pivot, make sure that all of the washers that are supposed to be there are, in fact, there. For mine (not all seem to be the same) I snug it down and then back it off a very small amount and this frees up the movement. Not actually "loose" but at a torque that is probably a bit less than spec. I put a bit of blue Loctite on the threads to prevent it from backing off further - so far, so good. I haven't heard complaints on shifting with the 6-speed transmissions so I expect your is just in need of some adjustment. Let us know... [/QUOTE]
