My stick swivels clockwise if pushed hard trying to got into reverse or first. If you swivel it back it kinda holds into a better position. If you are real nice to it this doesn't happen. Suggestions? It moves maybe an inch to the left. Maybe 15 degrees.

Slightly off topic, ..... has anyone reduced the spring tension required to push the shift lever into the R - 1 gate?

You risk going into 1st when doing an aggressive 4th to 3rd downshift
Don't ask how i know but it will happen. . .

Thanks. I have been considering this for a while, and I personally never "aggressively shift" any of my sporting machines. Even when new, these gearboxes required a soft touch. just my .02
