Careful lowering the shifter. It is possible for the shift lever to
contact the rod if the lever is moved too far down. That will bend and
eventually break the rod, leading to a loss of shifting. When you
adjust it, be sure to move it through it's full range of motion before
cranking down on the lock nuts.
