Hey,
In order to avoid a damaging low-range shift (when stopped), I have found this to work pretty well. I believe the real problem is the cable slop in compression. Therefore, I chose not to buy an aftermarket shift gate, because it will still require adjustment and potential modification. This easy modification seems to be working fantastic. However, a rigid (non cable) design from the lever to the shifter, which there is plenty of room for, would potentially solve this entirely and not be altered by temperature and wear like the cable is. Hopefully, Honda goes down that path for future models, but til then, this is what I did:
