Gear shift pivot play fix?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I've found the dot mark on the short lever but cant find much in the way of a mark on the shaft end.
My dismantling photos are not to be relied on as the shifter might not have been in the corect position.
I've got neutral - I dont even know how the gears go !
Is it one up and five down or one down and five up?
A photo of someones lever when in neutral showing the mechanism would be helpful plus the shifter sequence please?

1 down then neutral then 5 up
As for position what ever suits your riding style

Hi Ted
Possible date is in two weeks or the next avaliable date is 13 December
Let hope I still fit those rear sets and drops in the spring
Ps shifter sequence is on the outside cover

The things I never notice until someone points out the obvious - so it is Allan - I feel suitably stupid for asking!
Another issue to resolve:- Even thought the pivot bracket was nicely painted the lever rocks all over the shop on the pivot boss so either the lever is worn or it's the pivot itself.
The hole in the lever boss looked pretty good and round so I'm thinking its the pivot assembly - not available from DS.
Whats the best fix - have the shaft reduced and a sleeve fitted on top or would a machine shop make up a new pivot - sound like more expense?
