Fixed my shift indicator needle position
 
Just thought I'd share the experience.

Evidently, the catch/metal clip on the string slipped over the years. I couldn't slide it back up the string so I clamped a fishing line sinker to the appropriate position. :icon_clapclap:

Cool easy fix. Hopefully you tied tied it to the weight before you crimped it just to make sure that one doesn't move.

Actually, I didn't and you're probably right, I should have but, between my sausage fingers and the limited working room (existing clip is almost butt-up against the sinker,) I'm trusting the sinker.

If it fails, I have about 29 more as back-ups. :D
