No worries, I won't be riding around dumping oil all over the place. I was just gonna peel the crappy silicone gasket off and bolt it on and see if it shifts smoothly by hand. Then I'll put my new gasket on when it shows up in the mail.

It's so bizarre. Just playing with the lever by hand, it works fine until the two screws nearest the lever are tightened all the way.

Get this: So after I play with the lever with the screws tightened down (when it's not shifting consistently and doesn't move easily), I then loosen the screws nearest the lever and can watch the shift lever jump back into the center position, the way it should be.

The thing always worked fine until I took the cover off, and the only thing that moved was the end of the lever arm, just kinda swung down and I put it back into place. Hopefully me and ZedX can figure this out.
