 Jim, when I had mine apart I noticed that the casing were the main shaft goes into on either side of the shifter was worn oval and the bottom of the shifter it's self was a little out of round as well, and not to be out done one of the pins and pin hole showed some wear.

I ended up using a slightly larger main shaft, and milled the housing and shifter end to fit with the bronze bushings, as for the pin I went again with a slightly larger one, stamped out a piece of rubber for that small pad and used some garden hose to go over the shaft assembly.

It was a little tight shifting at first but once every thing had worn in it's nice and notchy now, no more make a wish shifting and ending up in the wrong gear.

Your going to like the results you get.

And also my wife is a NUAI instructor, does this mean you guy's wont like each other, I once wore a PADI shirt I got when I cert'ed and she about ripped it off me, as for ice diving your a braver man than me.

Good luck with the shifter          Brett.
