so i am stupid, what is the purpose of the hole being oblong in the bracket that attaches to the shifter lever. in the video it appears to be a to non functional. is it merely an adjustment function prior to tightening everything up?
Exactly! The angle matters in having the fulcrum rotate exactly inline with the main shifting post. Considering all of the little differences that can occur, especially where the hole is drilled in the Shift Lever, the space allows for finetuning. I found my initial setting was 'close' when I installed mine and then made a slide adjustment to get it perfect. Once that was done, the shifter was so smooth and only needed slight pressure to actuate.
