I'd consider changing to a race shift pattern where the lever bolts directly to the gear selector shaft. It'll provide far more feel and smoothness when shifting up or down. It'll "snick" into gear. I'd strongly disagree with the service guy's statement that all R's are like that. But before changing anything, I'd definitely have the clutch operation checked thoroughly: air in the line, stack height, basket wear, friction plate wear, push rod bearing, etc. |
