AX15 shifter options

Not sure why some would leak and not others. Its clearly something many have experienced because it is on this forum as well as product reviews on the internet. Perhaps whether of not it can vent through the pivot ball in the shifter.

I don’t understand this either and looking at the B&M design up close, I don’t understand how it could be installed and NOT leak. I wasn’t surprised to see mine leak even after reinstalling it 3 times.

Yours looks similar to B&M so I would expect the same issue there as well, and it did happen which I am not surprised about.

Well don't forget you have three or four categories...not just two...leaks, doesn't leak as you've stated...but then you also have don't notice it and don't care about it.

Had the gearbox out and apart to fix the clicking noise and intentionally examined the topside based on comments in this thread.. nothing. No idea why it’s not, but it’s not.

I've got the B&M and a new Novak sourced AX15 - no vent - no leaks.

Ditto. With original 99 AX15

I wonder if putting grease into top of mine reduced the venting it had? It was just what the instructions said.
