Re:6 speed Shifter ****

mine was straight until about 40,000 miles, then it started angling toward me. can't figure out why it stayed so long.

Re:6 speed Shifter ****

Mine is still planted in the same position. But I'm looking for a replacement **** in either leather or burlwood/leather. Christmas is just around the corner!

There is a stub from the transmission about 4 inches high, the lever screws to it, the **** screws to the lever.

My hole shifter is spinning out also. I found out the hard way. Driving down the road "at night" spinning the **** thinking that I was unscrewing the **** and all of a sudden the hole shifter was in my hand I felt like a goof.

Mine has been spinning also. Just keep shifting it will keep lining itself up every few thousnd miles. I think DC designed it for a service reminder..

In my 2004.5 it was the insert turning. I thought that it was the ****.
The insert is pretty tricky to remove without marking it up. I cut about 10 notches in the ridge (below the surface) and reinserted it and no turning since. I picked up that tip on another thread on this forum. Took about 10 minutes.

Good Luck

Mine was right-side-up, straight up and down when the truck was new. By the time it had 5000 miles on it, the indicator was perfectly up-side down and has been that way ever since (19000 miles on it now).

I found it easier to remove the ****, pop the insert out from inside, then put **** back on, tighten nut under the **** (yes there is one) and then use the RTV dab-will-do-ya when I had the stock ****, my SRT-10 **** insert does not move at all.
