Just to make it clear you bought your shifter recently from a2rinc correct?

No, but the one i got is 100% identical to the ones he sells...there are numerous sellers that sell the same shoftshifter kit and they receive it from the same manufacturer......also let me correct my self then i sed there is nut only on one side i made a mistake if i remember correct there are nuts on both sides but if you unscrew then the bolt still does not come out, thats when you need to screw it out with pliers...and if i remember correct you need to unscrew it from the sides where on the bolt right next to a housing there in small part without treads. It unscrews quite easy without any stugle........i really need to start taking pictures on all the work i do
