This would not occur if you use a 1/2" stroke instead of a 1" stroke and adjust the location of the stroke so the roll pin does not bottom out against the ends of the slots. AM provided a sleeve to slide over the piston rod to shorten the stroke on a 1" stroke cylinder. Not sure if they still do.

When we used the Gen 1 shifter in 2005 and 2006, we had the pressure at 60 PSI and had no problems. But like I said, you have to have to be careful to adjust the location of the stroke.
