It looks like the teeth have been been removed from the lever in an area from each side of the split and not from the shaft....Is this correct?
I also have the dreaded slippage issue and have tightened the lever bolt as much as my scrawny 195 lbs. will allow!
After I modified the lever there are a few additional steps that were recommended to me that I think helped make it work.
A bolt from Aircraft Spruce, can't remember the designation but not hardware store stuff.
A hardened plain washer.
Neversieze on both.
Most importantly one of these.
The 25ft-lbs in the manual isn't enough. Maybe it's wear on the splines from being run loose over the years, but I'm thinking twice that. It needed to be re-tightened twice before it took but it's stayed tight for a few years now.
