There are several bolts through the center of shifter assembly. If they are too tight, the shifter becomes very difficult to shift. I don't recall whether you'll need to loosen only the center bolt or the two bolts to either side.

My issue is the length of the lever which is too short and the leverage is too there when I shift, so I am really looking for a little longer lever.
