is all the threading still working and its just loose? I had the same problem on mine. If it's stripped you're probably screwed. Otherwise on mine I pulled the shift boot down, held the **** in the right place, and then tightened up the nut below the shifter that holds it in place.

I know what your talking about. with my new shift ****, if i tighten it down, the numbers were facing the passenger side, if i put it where the numbers were facing normal, any hard shift and i'm spinning it lose. what i did was remove the shifter **** and actually rolled small peices of paper to fill the inside of the shifter ****. i would stick them in there and use a pen to push the paper all the way down, make sure you roll the paper. then i would put the shifter **** back on and tighten it down, it took a few trys but now it's on there tight and the shift pattern facing the right way and it doesn't get loose even when i go to the track

I just stuck some paper squares stacked up inside the shift **** until I'd stacked enough of them to lower the roof of the thing far enough to bring it back to proper orientation. Remember...it's a giant nut right. What happens if you cut the top 1/2 thread off a nut, you change the final position of the nut by 90 degrees. Simple but effective. You can also use epoxy or whatever... paper was easy to remove if it put too many squares in so I used it. Now my sheezie is tight as a nun's c*nt and facing directly where it should.
