How to tighten shift knob?

[Zee]

Did a search but I am still not very clear. I noticed my stock shift knob is a little loose on my 97. How can I tighten it? Thanks in advance

If it's the same as the gen 1 shift knob it screws on. I think mine took a 17 mm & 19 mm wrench to tighten. You can push the boot down, then use one wrench on the knob and one on the shaft below it to tighten it.

Sweet! Ya I just looked and did it. Thank you!!

Agree with Stretch...just don't let the wrenches slip as it's easy to hit one's self in the head !!

Thank Steve-Indy, he gave me the info several years ago when I picked up my car. Welcome to the community!

Did Stretch hit him himself in the head after you told him how to do it, and now you feel the need to warn people?







That really would explain a lot!

No...I was the one who took the hit.

Well I had the channel locks and crow bar out to get that thing good and tight...... but then I called Steve to double check
