Now I've made it a point to read as much as there is in here and half thru the Rat forum on the Rocket and this was not brought up.Out and about today in traffic in town coming out of 1st from a light and the shifter just lays there on my foot.The upper linkage had separated from shift knob.Got to the lonely repairmans parking lot,thought I might give him something to do,not really,tools out got a few threads started and limped to the Dealer.Dink said it has hapened to him and a few others,at different places on shifter.I've lost clutch and throttle cables before and gotten by no problem,first shifter.Glad I don't have linked brakes me thinks.Threads had evidence of locktite.Keep an eye out ya heah!
