The Igus bushings must be pressed into the shift handle. A arbor press or a light hand
with a hammer works well. Once the bushings are installed the pivot pin gets installed
through the handle.

Install the wave washer and spacer, then the pivot pin mounts.

Once both pivot pin mounts are installed, use the #6 set screws to lock them to the pivot pin. The pivot pin should be
flush with the outside edge of the pin mounts. Install the handle assembly into the shifter housing making sure the handle
is pointing forward or in the same direction as where the cable will be mounted (see photo).
