Take your shifter and carefully observe where the cable is on the little track on the lever's take up drum. Mark with sharpie.

then mix up some epoxy or JB weld and put a little dab right at that spot where the lever goes to the low gear position. Use a toothpick to apply it. Doing this gives you a couple extra mm of take up right at the end of the lever travel. Shape with a small file if necessary.

Interested to know if this works for you.

Remarkably simple and brilliant! Stay tuned
