203/205 doubler shifters

[baldduck74]

While waiting on new bearings an seal's to replace my roasted range box, I decided to look at my home built shifters. Got to noticing at Harlan my front drive would just slip out, and be in rear drive only, usually in a not under power situation, same thing with the 203 range box lever.
My shifters have cheap ACE hardware ball bearings in a piece of homes out 3/16" dom for pivots on a 5/8" bolt.

. And I'm wondering if I'm no creating enough tension on levers to help hold them in place. High low side on 205 is fine.

If I understand the issue correctly, they make adjustable detent screws to put tension on shift rail so it takes a little force to move shifters

The case shouldn't rely on the shifter to stay in gear. The detents are supposed to do that.

After posting this I thought about it and realized what I was thinking made no sense. I've seen the adjustable detents but thought they where to ease up shifting action. When I had cable shifters I shimmed up the detents, help with shifting a little but not much.
