Installed cleat by driver's seat. Question about reinstalling the shifter handle.
After torqing the retaining nut to 150 in lbs, should there be any side to side play in the throttle BEFORE installing the THROTTLE ONLY Button?

Very little. If the bushing wasn't installed properly (or is missing) it may be excessive.

Thanks Don. What is the correct way to install the bushing? It seems obvious to just...install it.

Usually on the handle then install the handle at the Neutral position (must be in neutral).
