The lever was hitting the metal bracket that goes around the rubber boot. The bracket could be modifed but I think I would have to hack out the whole center section and the rubber boot I think would still feel like it's beeing stretched - because it is, it's 2" higher and the lever throw is further than what it was. So what should I do to fix this? Any ideas? Thanks TBob TBob All but SAC'ed! Had God not driven man from the Garden of Eden, the Sierra Club would have. P.S. Greenies SUCK!

YOTA88 Mudrunner what X said. i had the same problem with mine. i cut out the center section of the metal bracket like you mentioned and it did allow the shifter into position but it streched the boot so much that i kept tearing them. once i extended the shifters it all went away.
