Old topic Coleman UTV400 Geatshift lever modification

[ChiefKen]

I had read in a pass post that there was a modification for the gEarsheft level to help prevent slipping out of gear. 
I check the parts list and the assembly is out of stock. 
Is there a design for the modification? 
Mine has been working fine up till the last week or so., and getting worse. 
I have made the cable adjustment and it still will not stay engaged unless I apply pressure to the knob. 
Has the modification been mass produced or is it design, up and weld?

thank you all for any information you can supply. 
 

 

Update 30Sept2025

I contacted Alpha Sport. Com and asked if they had shift lever in stock has the modification made to their stock.  They are unaware of any modification. 

I  made the modification myself. All went well, with the help of all the nots and photo in this group.  Thanks to all their hard work. 
The installation went well, too, except for one thing. The cable mount in the engine compartment, are (2) 19mm (might be wrong on size) nuts holding the cable in place, in front of the lever. Once I made the modification, the connection to the lever is very tight. Did I miss something. I believe the angle is too tight. Please advise

Not sure if you have figured this out yet, but there is not fix via the shifter/cable, the engine needs to be torn apart and a new part installed.  Coleman said F U! and will not help.  There needs to be a law suite brought against them for this issue.
