i picked up a desert eagle shift **** off the ocho. im having trouble getting the nylon insert to thread into the **** itself. has anyone else had this problem? what did u do to get it to thread on? any help would be greatly appreciated.

what sucks is that i bought an s2000 shift **** literally immediately before i found the tmw, so i guess im goign to put that up for sale in the fs thread. oh well. HELP

 

and before anyone asks, it is threaded on straight. it just goes about 3 turns, then gets stuck. i tried turning it with a butter knife when it was off the **** and wouldnt budge. same thing when the nylon insert is on the shifter. just cant get it into the ****!

 

have you ever used "nylock" nuts before on anything? they are way harder to turn than a normal nut because of the nylon insert. It's supposed to feel pretty tight. Do you have the TWM metal plug where you want it inside the shift ****? because that determines how far the nylon insert will thread into the ****. You could always run the insert under some hot water to make it more flexable.

 

You should call TMW Performance directly and ask them, they have great customer service.

 

im posted in their thread in the 8th and havent checked for a reply just yet. i guess im going to try the warm water thing and see if that helps. and no, never dealt with inserts before. all my others have always been just screw to the shifter. i'll figure something out, but if anyone else has a tip or trick, lemme know!
