Friend of mine has an issue where the new style 3 speed shifter doesn't shift to lower gears unless you over extend the lever.
Other forums and YT videos say this is a design flaw whereby the shifter expands at hot temperatures, like direct sunlight, and is fixed by filling down and/or sanding parts inside the shifter.
Is this correct?
