    Does your "o" ring still have adequate tension? That could be a big issue.

    So the factory quadrant is supposed to have the large semi circle plastic piece with all the teeth, and a second piece that those teeth interact with, correct? Sorry for a dumb question, but never had to mess with the quadrant on my previous stick mustangs. If so that's defintitely the issue.

    Thanks Dan. I'll upgrade since the factory stuff seems pretty cheap, I was just looking to confirm that this is how the quadrant is set up

    No little piece. I can put my fingers on the large piece and rotate it all the way up and down and it doesn't contact anything else

    Yep also if you go to an aftermarket quadrant you definitely have to buy an adjuster too. Make sure the adjuster is the click kind like steeda and fiore sells. They stay in adjustment better.
