[urq] Shifter

[SpotatAshleys]

Looking down on the stick, there are four 10mm bolt heads in the base of the
bracket. If these are loosened it will allow sideways and front/back
movement of the bracket "walls" on which the rubber/plastic wear pad is
located. Adjustment of this ought to allow you to get gears without putting
your shoulder out of joint. I have just been playing around with mine to
improve the feel of the shift. Seems to have been of some benefit but I will
have to borrow a Bently manual sometime to set all the selection mechanism
up properly.
Hope this helps

About 5 months ago the left rubber piece that goes on the inside of the
shifter bracket came off.  So i took it out so it wouldnt be floating around
till i got a replacement.  It drove fine, besides the fact that the bolt
going through the shifter would catch on the holes in the bracket where the
rubber mounted, causing the shifter to just stick.

Anyways... i put in a rubber replacement a couple of days ago, and now first
and second take as much strenght as one can muster to get it in there.  It
cant go to the left enough to slide into the proper position.  I want to
just bend the bracket over just a few milimeters so it will go in easy.. but
that wouldnt be fixing the problem.

Whats the real problem, and how do i fix it?

Thanks,
Jason
