Today I took the boot off the gear shifter and tightened the 2 nuts that connect lower to upper lever with the rubber sandwich. I found they were not actually loose but certainly firmed the lever up with a good tighten.
Secondly I squirted some good old fashioned oil from an oil can into the gear selection mechanism under the rubber boot. What a difference that has made. It is smoother and more positive. I have only been out twice since but I have not missed third at all. I did put it thru the paces and never missed a beat. In fact gear selection is a dream. Hopefully I don't wake up.
I will update after the honeymoon period is over.
Any one else have a similar experience?
