Sorry, I missed that post.


I can'r quite tell from your description, but it definitely sounds like mis-adjustment. You've got the right idea on how it should work. It scould be mis adjustment fore-aft, or even left-right, or both for that matter.

When you shift from 4th to 5th, it should brush the lock-out against it's spring tension, then go past the lock-out, and the triangled piece should pop back to it's resting position. If not, then adjust the lever forward so that it travels far enough past the lock-out to allow it to return.

Then when you pull straight back on the lever, it should hit the lock-out, and be guided right into the 4th shift gate. If not, then adjust the left-right until the 4th gate lines up with where the tip of the lock-out ends, so it becomes a smooth motion.
