I have five pictures of the pan and the lever, but cannot post them. Apparently the photos must be downsized to a smaller number of pixels, and I haven't been able to do that.

The shifter shaft showed evidence that a previous owner had apparently thought the set screw holding the lever was a punch pin and bent the shaft trying to remove it. The lever was bent and difficult to turn in the case. It was straightened and the lever properly attached. it would take a significant bend to drop the lever far enough to hit the pan, particularly after the attempt to put a bubble in the bottom. That big a bend is not evident, in fact I doubt if it is even 1/64 out.

Two gaskets is probably not the best idea, but I'm stumped.

If anyone wants to see pictures, please send me your email address - I can send them that way.

Thanks,
Bernardi
