My knob is loose

[nytebyte]

I have an MGW shifter with the red handle. It's a great piece of hardware, but I can't seem to get the stock shifter knob back on tight.

I have it down as far as it will go. It's bottomed out and pressing against the leather shift boot. I can't tighten it down another turn.

Is there some trick to getting these things tight or should I just try a bit of threadlock on it?

I had a similar problem but i got an aftermarket knob and it worked out well.

There should be a screw on the bottome of the thread that you will tighten the handle to. That is how mine is.

yo

If the knob doesn't tighten up in the right spot. Just put a piece of rolled up paper or a hunk of wood in the knob that should take up some of the slack.

Gee, thats sounds like a personal problem :joke:

Seriously now, some small washers underneath the knob, as well as
some (BLUE locktite) should do the trick, RED is alot stronger, but you may never get the handle back off w/o messing it up :biggthump

Ok, all you filthy minded individuals!

I finally got my knob nice and tight by using a couple of washers underneath the shift boot. That way the shaft is not as long and it allows the knob to bottom out sooner and tighten up. It now has a much better feel (at least that's what all the girls tell me).

Susie's idea worked.

See, all it takes is the right words from the right lady to tighten up your knob!
