Anybody know how to make my shift **** point straight?!?! It's a grex **** and it points to the upper right side of the car...anybody know any easy ways to fix that?

also while on the subject, does anybody know any easy ways to make the shift boot stay connected to the ****?

 

just tighten it as hard as u can thats wat i did with mine and it worked fine

 

I've tried! I still have a looong ways to go untill it's straight.

Any other suggestions?

 

use lock tight and twist it on till its straight but not to the point where its crooked and way tight and let the lock tight dry........ lol jk i duno

 

someone please help!!!

 

you need a bolt that goes under the shift **** to keep it from moving once you get it traight. but it will make your shift **** taller

 

you don't need a bolt....shove paper in the bottom of the shiftknob and tighten it all the way....if its not where you want it add more paper. Worked for me and my skunk2

 

alright! got the shift **** straight!

my friend just goes lemme see and starts messing with it, next thing I know it's straight!

hah, now, how the hell do i get the shift boot to stay connected to the ****!

 

You could try zip ties. Or maybe try this method: Click

i kinda ghetto fab-ed electrical tape thick enough so the boot wouldn't drop down -- you can set it wherever you want. Ghetto, but it works.

 

loc-tite is definitely the solution for the shift ****.

that looks worse than having the boot sag.

I found a different kind of solution.
I took a piece of tin, and cut it round, then drilled a hole in the middle, big enough to fit over the threaded part of the shift lever, but not big enough to pass over the ridge and onto the main part of the shift lever.

Then put the boot back on, and the round tin can be bent and shaped to hold up the boot as well as give it some fullness at the top keeping it snug at the shift ****.

I should post some pics.

 

i dont know what is wrong with all of your boots but with mine, all i have to do is losen my shift ****, pull the boot up to the **** then hold it ther while i tighten the **** back down and it stays where it should.

 

good advice, i just rolled a few rap-a-rounds of electrical tape then shoved the boot over the tape, holds good, look good.
