Hello all,

Just fitted my shortshift. Pleased to say all went relatively well. One problem I have encountered though is that one of the three bolts holding down the lever mechanism was cross threaded so wont go back in at all, the thread came out with the bolt

What should I do? Will it be ok with just two bolts as the remaining ones are front and rear and it seems quite solid, or should it be re-threaded and fixed proper.

As there is a lot of aluminium in the elise does this happen a lot?

Regards,
