it maybe be set wrong,  you have to tighten it snug, not crazy tight, then turn counter clockwise 1 full turn and try it, if not do another 1/2 turn and try again,  keep doing it until it shifts.  Just remember that clockwise makes it shift at higher rpm's and counter clockwise makes it shift at lower rpm's.
