Loose shift knob

[eemcclain]

My shift knob has become annoyingly loose. When I try to tighten it, I can’t put it in reverse. Anyone else have this problem?

If there is a lock nut on it you can take the knob off, raise the nut a little bit and then tighten the knob. If there isn’t a lock nut (stock) then I would get one cause it will fix your issue. Any aftermarket shifter will come with one if you’ve had your eye on some fancy balls lately…?

a few daps of Locktite blue when you have it set right.

First post nailed it. Adjust the lock nut up if there is one, or get a nut and the knob will tighten against the nut.
No locktite needed at all.

Not sure if this is your problem, but read here:

My Mach 1 shift knob had no jam nut and the Loctite would not allow the knob to loosen. It took so much effort to remove, I don't know if the "soft" threads will ever be the same. Even though the Tremec is supposed to shift fine with the OEM shifter, I went with MGW, and for me, the upgrade is worth every penny.
