    just for info guys... i heard a "ratling" noise from the shifter for about 10 miles and tought to check it soon.... but yesterday evening i lost (some ?) bolts down there under the boot ..so no shifter anymore :( :D :D
    luckly i could get home shifting the root of the stick ... no problem. :rock:

    just fixed it , indeed the 2 bolts got loose. Now with Loctide Fort ;)

    the 2 bolts half way the stick,just under the boot , holding the upper part with the knob. Just to say that when they vibrate loose , they come very soon complete out....;)

    Always use loctite on shifter bolts.
