[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1342696, member: 19880"] As far as I know, mine has never been damaged or distorted. The first time I serviced the shift lever, I tightened the pivot bolt "normally". The wave washer ended out pretty much flat and there was significant resistance to pivoting freely. I ended out backing it off a quarter turn or so. Fairly snug but not really tight - blue Locktite has kept it from working its way loose. I'll have a good look at it this winter. (I have some MAJOR routine maintenance to do this year - I pretty much neglected it last year.) Perhaps a thin shim (1/2 mm or less) below the shoulder (threaded portion) would be appropriate.
