Hi
My slap stik won't rachet with the repop T Handle I have.
It doesn't let the mechanism return up to the notches.
The shifter works fine without the handle installed.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Any solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
I tried raising the handle on the mount a bit (as much as an entire screw hole diameter).
Still not releasing
Thanks anyway

I haven't installed the screw yet. The shifter actuates fine without the handle, everything goes bad after the handle gets installed. It seems like the T handle button is dragging sightly the housing. Being a cheap b*stard, I don't want to risk $50 on another repop.

Update! I installed a friends borrowed T handle and now the shifter rachets properly. If you hold his handle and shake it, the chrome button moves in and out pretty freely. Mine stays retracted no matter how hard you shake. It looks like that's what causing the failure. 'Nother part to find at the swaps...

You can pry the chrome bezel off the handle using a putty knife. I ended up sanding/filing the plug, the cavity in the handle, and the bezel. Everything almost had enough clearance It works like a charm now. All it took was a couple of hours of work...
