It's a slightly firmer fit on early NC1 shifters, so expect a tight squeeze when pressing it onto the pivot ball. A little grease and steady pressure gets it home, and the tighter fit means less slop in the lever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e⚠️ You'll also need: gear oil for the shifter turret\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shifter turret has its own oil supply, separate from the gearbox, and it should be topped up or refilled while the shifter is out. \u003cstrong\u003eOil is not included.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade: \u003cstrong\u003eSAE 75W-90, API GL-4\u003c\/strong\u003e (look for \"GL-4\" or \"GL-4 Plus\" on the label), e.g. Penrite Pro Gear GL-4 75W-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmount: roughly 150–200 ml.
