Big Feet
#1
I have an issue trying to get my size 12W shoe under the shift lever. The lever is short and angled downward somewhat. I typically perform upshifts with the side of my shoe pressed against the edge of the rubber boot on the lever. Is the shift lever adjustable? Is there a longer aftermarket lever available? Moving it up 1/2" would make a huge difference. Will be removing the lever soon anyway to be able to bleed clutch fluid.
Thanks.

Snow boots can be troublesome.

I stopped that practice many years ago. Big Grin

It is adjustable for up or down. Not a super lot but some. I forget how much and would have to look in the service manual to see if the amount is listed. I did mine when I bought it in '13 and haven't messed with it since.
