my friend gave me an aftermarket shift-****, which is one of those universal fit types, just a metal ball and i wanted to use it just cause i was sick of the other one i had,

so i took old one off and put this one on and i tightened the allen head nuts that go around the **** until they grabbed hold of the shifter rod, then tightened each one as tight as i could.

it fit good and was tight and i drove it for like a month or so and liked it,

but recently i noticed it must of lost its grip on the shifter rod and now the shift **** is spinning round & round in circles, and its annoying.

just wanted to see if anyone on here would have any ideas or thoughts how i can just secure the **** in place real good so it stays for a long time ???

thanks

 

1st throw that one away

2nd get one made for a honda

I have a mugen one fs (knock off) pm me if you like

 

isn't there a plastic adapter that you put between the threads of the shifter and where the thingy the alen bolts screw into? i'd just get a threaded shift **** my self... like my nice weighted greddy shift **** that i have

 

i has the new zerg industries one and i lovvve

 

no reason to throw it away, the one i took off to put this one on was a momo leather tall shift **** and that one had the same design as the one i was talking about in this post, where it has allen wrench nuts that turn and go towars the shift rod til it grabs against....., so its not any different except just a cheap no-name brand, but i just like the way it looks, and feels and just wanted a change from that momo one just to have something different.

maybe i should try unscrewing the allen screws from the momo **** out of it and put into the other **** and see if it works any better?, maybe the ones on the other were dull or something??


and don't tell me to buy a new one or get a threaded one etc...., cause whole point is to use the one i got free cause i wanted to make use of it, plus i can't afford buying any stuff right now cause i'm unemployed at the moment.


any more ideas ? what if i wrap the shift rod with duct tape or something until it is thicker diameter, and then jam the **** on it and won't need to tighten it as far until it hits it ??

 

*googles it real quick* oooooooooooooooooooooooo that's teh sexyness!

 

JB weld it on there... Why are you driving around if you are unemployed? Does your Mom know about this? Have you tried watching it spin in circles to see if it eventually stops? Does it spin to the music? That would be neat... Maybe use your siblings glue stick...

Seriously... it's not that hard to fix... buy new knurled cup allen set screws from your local hardware store. Otherwise, ghetto is the way to go.

 

the most usefull tip was DCRB said : "is'nt there supposed to be a plastic thing between the threads of the shifter and where the allen bolts screw into?"

cause that reminded me of something, . . . . i think the MOMO **** i had for while had a tube which was plastic that went over the threads before putting **** over it and then it gave it something for the pointed ends of the allen bolts to turn into and dig into.

i think i just need to get the old MOMO **** and that plastic thing might of just still been jammed inside of it since its been on it so long, if it is then i could pry it out and use to put the other **** on with since thats what it was lacking, and maybe it will work?


it would make sense that it would come with something like a plastic collar to slip over the shifter first cause just using with a slippery metal shifter would'nt be the ideal surface for pointy allen bolts to be able to grip into.

 

reminds me of all the aftermarket ***** I've had to remove from the super awesome cut shifter with a JB welded **** on top...

Wally world special. The allen keys press the plastic against the threads, making threads on the plastic. What a great design...
