newbie quick shift help

[Gez110]

Hi Guys,

Just fitted a forge quick shift, i followed the fitting instructions and all seemed well until the test drive.

It is now very difficult to change from 5th to 6th. I can go from 4th to 6th with ease. Having re fitted the original part all gears now work as before.

Any ideas, could I have fitted the quick shift incorrectly?

Cheers

possibly. mine work fine. i have both front-back and side-side shifters.

did you try adjusting it slightly?

make sure the new shifter fits exactly flush with the top of the splines. i had similar trouble to you and refitting it making it dead level with the splines sorted it out.

I did try adjusting the gear cable fixing pin but this made no difference (other than the amount of throw). A fresh start might help!

I'll try again tomorrow, thanks guys.

how did you get the gear cable off the shifter. iv undone the 10mm bolt in the center so the shifter is out but now cant get the cable with the ball and socket joint on the end off. is there a trick to it

There is a clip on the top you have to lift then slide off.
