Shift Knob Loose

[sd-mk2]

Quick question:

I have a stock wood shift knob that screws on to the shift lever. After I screw it on it keeps spinning and won't stay locked / in place.

Anyone else have this issue? thoughts on fixing this. don't want to get a new one.

thanks!

If it is indeed only the knob continuing to spin and not the whole shift lever , try to separate the mounting piece from the knob by pulling up on it while it's screwed onto the shaft. Then just solidly glue the two parts back together.

hmmm... ok. so you're thinking its the insert with the threads thats detached from the wood shift knob thats causing the spinning. Makes sense, I won't break it by doing this?

I really like my shift knob, don't wanna mess it up.

Thanks!

If it spun that easily on its own, it would just lift off the shifter. Check again whether the whole top half of the shifter is turning with the knob.
