It's possible the gauge is actually a fancy idiot light. That is, it stays in
the middle after normal operating temperature is reached and doesn't
increase anymore until some defined too hot point is reached.
For example, it may read like a gauge between cold and 80C. Then it sits in

Since this problem started with the installation of another IP, and

It's been a long time since I did one of these but there is a flat metal
lever (with a hole) at the bottom of the shifter and a similar lever on the
