americanmusc1e Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 the shifter on my banshee has too much play in it where it attaches to the splined shaft going into the transmission.... I tried tightening the bolt, but no luck..... Is there any fix for this without just replacing the shifter????? Quote

What I did with mine was pull it off, pull the bolt out, and using a chop saw, was remove some material where it "clamps" down so you can squeeze it tighter... I know it doesn't make much sense, but maybe you can figure it out. Quote
Starwriter Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 I do the same thing with car battery cables. Cut the slot out wider so it clamps down before the slot closes up. And you know you have to pull the bolt all the way out before you can slide the shifter off, right? Quote

So Cal Suspension Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 gotcha.... I'll try that right away..... It should work just fine! Good luck homie! Quote
BigRed350x Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 LOL weld the shifter to the shift shaft. Quote
Paulie B Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 You could also try through bolting it and running a lock nut on the other side. You can get it much tighter like that with no fear of stripping it. Quote
