Loose shifter handle normal?

[FW_Linc/Merc]

I searched history and did not find information about loose shifter handles so it is time to ask. Is is normal for the top of the shifter handle to rotate slightly? Mine seems loose. I get about 10 degrees of rotation on the handle. I did find the answer about the shifting in history so I will have to take it in for the shift cable to be adjusted.

Mine's pretty tight.

Nope ... no rotation or loose feel on mine !! :D 10 degrees is certainly alot and should be checked out. :rolleyes:

Push-down the collar on the shifter shaft.

This will expose two allen-head set screws in the back that probably(?) need re-tightening. *A drop of Lock-Tite wouldn't hurt.
