Hello folks. In my bath/shower, when I flip the lever to open the
drain, it pops back up a bit which leaves the drain partially closed
and slows the flow of water down the drain. Any idea how to fix
this? I flipped it opened then closed a bunch of times hoping that
would fix it, but it didn't. It's a standard bath tub/shower,
installed in the late 70s.

Thanks for any suggestions.....

Mike

I believe there's a clip behind the lever that has weakened or broken.

Just replace the whole thing-not expensive.

Just got around to fixing this minor problem as well. I removed the
old "Trip Lever Overflow Plate Assembly" and took it with me to Home
Depot. Found the universal replacement and installed it. Works like
a charm. Gotta love a day off when you can get a few lingering
projects done!

Indeed. Problem is I haven't gone to work in almost two weeks and i
still have lots of projects to do

On the upside, the house *is* cleaner, more organized, etc. and I've
done a lot towards getting both my car and truck "long trip roadworthy."

If I could get a whole month off, I might actually get caught up...
