Condition
Some customers may comment that the shift control knob (shifter knob) may be loose or detached from the shift control lever.
Cause
The interference fit between the shift control knob and the shift control lever may allow the shift control knob to become loose or detached.
Correction
Secure the original equipment or new service shift control knob to the shift control lever using adhesive and a self-tapping fastener.
Service Procedure
Important:
Make sure the leather boot is still in place around the shift control lever base in order to prevent drilling debris from falling into the shifter
mechanism.
Important:
Re-use the original equipment shifter knob whenever possible. Only use a new service shifter knob if the original equipment knob is damaged
or missing.
1.
Carefully remove the emblem from the original equipment shift control knob. Save this emblem for re-use if retaining the original equipment shift
control knob or for re-use on the new service shift control knob, if applicable.
Important:
The service shifter knob may feel slightly "looser" than the production part. This is a normal characteristic. Do NOT replace the entire shift
control assembly for this condition.
2.
Place the shift control knob back on the shift control lever. Ensure that the shifter knob is correctly oriented.
