Aftermarket shifter replacement or can my shifter be adjusted?

[EricB]

On our 2025 Northstar ADV5, it is extremely difficult to get the transmission into High. Is the factory shifter adjustable for better shifting or would an aftermarket shifter make it easier to shift into High? Who makes a good replacement shifter?

The only shifter replacement I’m aware of is the Viper Machine billet shifter. I haven’t used an Xpedition with one installed so I can’t really say if it makes shifting into high easier.
The only adjustment is on the shift cable at the transmission, and that won’t make it any better.

Following up on JT's response, I have the Viper Machine billet shifter. It's a gate shifter and works well but I don't know if it will address your issue. Because it's a gate shift you have to give it a good pull to get it through the gate and into high.

Has it always been hard to shift into high or did it just start? Mine shifts into high as easily as low. If the clutch is spinning it would be hard to shift into any gear so I don't think it's the clutch.
