Winters Shifter Adjustment...is killing me!!

Something I have run into in the past that I don't see mentioned. Shifter cable HOUSING adjustment between mounting points. Think the dirt bike throttle cable you had as a kid. If the cable has an adjustable end in one bracket, the slack in the inner cable can be taken out. Happened to me on a Fairbanks shifter and one other that I don't remember. FWIW, I start my checking adjustments in 2nd gear (3sp r.m.v.b.) R,N,1st fall on the trans detents and don;t seem to be as critical as 2 and 3. I make sure that 3rd is precise. I have in the past made brackets to bolt to the trans shift arm to move the ball stud up down or sideways. Hope this is of some help.
