Thanks Mike D and Frank. I unscrew the rod end two full rotations and still the same. Is there a ratio between retations unsrewing the end vs mph shift point? And again shifting 1-2 is below 5mph while 2-3 is around 24mph.

Someone mentioned to me the lockdown switch under the throttle pedal may be stuck or broke (which it appers to function when I push on it by hand) any thoughts on this?
