Mine was doing the same when the TC arms were bent, so check the arms and bushes arent putting the case on the P.

What condition is your shifter bush in, that's an easy thing to miss and to fix.

Yer sorry forgot I did this at the same time as well, which will probably help things if its badly worn.
As for strengthening the arms, it is highly recommended by many, however I haven't done it yet. And other then bending the arms slightly that once I have never had any other problems with the arms or case.

I got mine from Suzishop but i was lucky apparently they sell pretty quick, but Midland should have plenty.

do you have abody lift because if you do it maybe that your body has shifted and is knocking it out of gear

yeh i put everythign that came out of the case back in when i rebuilt it.
and as for a BL i do have about 1inch of BL but from the looks of it i think it is the arm that holds the case as its twisted .
