new boots too big for shift lever angle

[dlutz1969]

Hi, I just bought a new pair of boots that the toe area is too tall to accomodate getting under the shift arm to upshift. Has anyone else had this problem? If so I would like to know how you solved the issue. Can the shift lever be moved upwards? And if so would i need to adjust the linkage? Any help or options with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Yes the shifter can be moved 1 spline to give you more room.

Yes, make it work for the boots. May have to move it more than 1 spline. Won't be good for other shoes but.:confused2: Oh Well.

You can also use the screw adjuster to move the lever quite a bit up, or down. Generally the transmission likes to have the lever lower than horizontal to help avoid false neutrals/ missed shifts.

I addidently put my shifter back one spline higher than the mark and I couldn't upshift because the shifter hits the footpeg.
