Rep Power: 286

I need a question answered from people who have the skunk 2 shift ****. I got this shift **** last week, and I love it. The weight on the shift ***** make shifting so much easier. Anyways, here's my problem and question. I can't get it to screw in so that when its tight, it ends up being straight.

I know I can tighten it almost all the way, and then loosen it a bit so it ends up being straight, but after a while, the shift **** begins to spin again. So I'm wondering if anybody did any mods to it so that the numbers sit straight up.

Has anybody tried a different nut?? maybe that'll work. What size is the thread of the shifter??

Thanks.

your supposed to put a nut under the shift **** to lock it up from spinning. or you can do what i did and stick paper between the treads enough so its really hard to spin because i lost the bolt. lol works like a charm.

hmm.. when I had mine, it wasnt too far off, maybe 1/2 a turn. I just forced it over. The nut didnt help.

I've got mine on(with the nut) at its perfectly straight. You have to tighten the nut with a wrench while you hold the **** in place with the other hand. It might take a few tries. After I figured out how to do it, it was easy the second time.

well i think all skunk2 ***** are like that for our cars atleast, where it's a tick off to the right from being center. you could use the locking nut to keep it straight, but i found that using the locking nut really raised the height of the **** a little too much for my liking, so i guess it's really up to you. do you like a really tall, long looking shifter?? or would you rather have a **** that's slightly off center? haha

like cinaibur said, just get the **** where you want and tighten the nut by using a wrench and bringing it up to the ****. so you're actually unscrewing the nut until it tightens up with the ****

Thanks, worked like a charm.

Rep + for you.

I only hand tighten the nut before.

I hate when the numbers don't line up. I sold my Type R **** cause I lost the nut. Now I have a ARC copy with no writing, I like it alot.
