I've got an older Alpha 1 Gen 1 drive. I'm having a problem with the shift lever coming completely off the control. it seems this just has a friction fit on a flange in the box. is this correct? if you push on it when you move it, it's fine. or if I remember to keep making sure it's pushed on tight, it's ok. but often when docking or maneuvering, I might tend to pull on it and thats when it comes off the fitting. is my lever missing something that is supposed to hold it tight? I have scoured the repair manuals and the internet and this doesnt seem to be a common problem. can anyone tell me why it is happening to me?
Thanks
