and it may be you need to use a new cable.. in my case my 545 cable will not have the proper travel so I bought my new shifter with a new cable that has more travel..
I havent yet installed my 'P' shifter however i did get the plates and positions correct to match my genometry i just have to mount it up...

Thanks, ‘Kid -
I did buy a new cable to match the new shifter as I thought that might be my initial problem. I think they are close to the same, but needed a new one anyway.
If I may ask - how did you set the geometry? Did you use the old shifter as a guide? Use an instruction sheet? Get settings from manufacture? (no documentation came with mine…). Or did you just know…?
Thanks a lot! I’m optimistic I can make it work! Thanks!
