You might wanna recheck, by removing dial and put it back opposite direction.

Yep, I'm familiar with how it disassembles and goes together and the only variable would be the dial being upside down but it didn't matter which way it was you would still only have partial adjustability. As I stated above it's a known problem that Neil was already aware of.  Happy2

You are unlucky. My aluminum one is quite fine. 
Starts from N (#3) and going to #4 after one turn (like #7). Dial is smooth. 
When I release the handle, I can turn from N (#3)  to #6 after 2 turn (like #15).
I hope he is still keeping extra ones for replacement. I haven't shaved it yet, but quality is super high to me.
Understand me that mine is on N or close depending on which way the dial is installed I believe but it should be starting on 1 if working correctly not N. Neil said there is a video explaining the N start point and that he would send it to me but I have not received it yet. Either way when I put my car in park it's parked not in third gear. It should be starting at 1 and going to 6.

Does 1-N work?

N(#3) is the lowest setting.

Glad you found us. Messaging is off until 10 posts and so many days (I forget how many but in faq section) I can help you if needed since I directed you here. It's a safeguard for members. If you want me to help you contact him let me know? Again, Welcome
