Hi team - tried to do this today and just want to point out that there is an adjustment rod between the gear shift linkage arm and the gear shifter. There is no need to take the bolt out of the spindle even. All you need is a 10mm spanner. Loosten the lock nut at each end and turn the adjustment rod. It raises and lowers the gear shifter.

A trick is to wait until you have to remove the oil filter as the top of the adjustment rod is behind it. I'd just replaced mine as I'd just done an oil change. Made it take an hour instead of 2 minutes.

If you adjust the spigot on the spindle more than 2 splines, you will run into clearance issues on the gear shifter as it changes the angle of the gear shifter. Use the adjustment rod instead!

The adjustment rod is highlighted in the photo with an arrow. Leave the splines alone!

2002 ST named Terrence (after the angry birds movie character)
