Another PMS shifter question!!!

[HG182]

So I’ve just picked up a second hand PMS shifter. Got around to fitting it today and realised that the gearstick base seems to be pulled in meaning the washers can’t go between it and the bearing on the linkage.

I think I am correct in that that is where the washers should go!?

Any ideas on how to open the gearstick base up a bit (safely)?

Cheers

I wonder if that was the previous owner's 'mod', in trying to stop the famous rattle...?

If you decide to try it without the washers, and there's no rattle / buzz, report back and I'll have mine off in 20 mins!

Mine was also like this so didn't fit the washers.

Fifth sometimes crunches and reverse takes two hands to slam it in so something is up

Also it still buzzes with mine the way it is haha

I’m hoping to get it set up tomoz. Fingers crossed it comes up okay! Only issue I’ve got with fitting without is that the linkage will rub the gearstick base sides and not contact the bearings meaning it won’t be smooth

Mine is tight against the bearing without the washers, cant fit then unless you started bending the bracket and none supplied, i assumed they have been omitted on later shifters. Bolted it up without and had no issues.

All sorted now guys. Decided to not fit them. All gears okay and all seems good! Cheers for the help

Rattles, buzzes, vibrations??

Very slight buzz. Pretty quite tbh but I’ve not owned one before so can’t comment as to wether it is a normal amount or less if you get me?

washers are normally for the other bearings but the shifter had them as part of it.
