    Hacksaw a mill or two by the slot in the lever giving a slightly bigger gap. Tighten up the bolt. Being carefull not to overdo it and snap the lever.

    With the splines they make the lever the softer material so that your gear shaft splines arn't destroyed. Wat would you rather replace? But im just saying why cant another way be used to attach the lever to the shaft. And i mean why don't the manufacturers use it or will it cause them a decrease in aftermarket sales. As for why an aluminium one was used ios basically because they are the only ones available considering its an 1986 and they no longer make parts for it. Can i bitch sum more or have i reached the KB limit?

    Only works if yourve got a high tensile bolt. better idea is to file the inside of that particular area. another one is to build up the shaft but probably better to do the lever with weild and mak a tight fit.

    Yeah but the gear lever wears out then it starts flattening of the tips of the gear shaft

    Meh, just clamp a pair of vice grips round the shaft. Sorted.

    Then you revert back to plan "A"- MIG.

    Then the heat travels down the gear shaft and all sorts of interesting things happen.
