Shift knob... - Mustang Forum

MonteCitan · 10-13-2014, 10:24 PM

I've tried factory and 2 hurst knobs... I've only got 500 miles on the car myself, but they keep getting 'loose' and have to be tightened.. Each time turns the knob further.. My latest Hurst 8 ball style is currently rotated to about the 6:00 position

I also tried a bit of a search, but haven't been able to find a shift knob secured to a certain position for the T5 - I've had steeda shifters in the past that don't rotate (set screw) on my 01 and 02 GTs and my 06 GT500 KR shifter is solid.. I can't remember what I had on my 92... Any suggestions?

Hurst knobs usually use the jam nut underneath the knob. Stock type ones just spin until it's tight...

stock black plastic knob is the best.

i have the same problem with mine. so far ive just lived with it because mine is a metal ball with 1-5 carved into it. ive considered trying loctite though, but havent done it so cant tell ya if it works well. i think the blue loctite is the one that is meant to be removable but not 100% on that.
