Loose Short Shifter

Litlelev · 01-03-2008, 05:59 PM

I have a corsport SS adapter and once in a while the shifts get really notchy and I have to tighten my SS. It fixes the problem but I think it's just gonna come back, I've tightened it 2 time already in about 2 months.

Since they're all pretty much the same does anyone else have this problem? should I threadlock it place?

Use some loctite.

u need to loctite the screws.

-j- · 01-03-2008, 06:03 PM

Did you push it all the way up before tightening?

Litlelev · 01-03-2008, 06:05 PM

thanks for the quick replies, I guess it'll be permamnet now.

I think one of the screws fell out and is lost somewhere, should I bother replacing it?

Yes, you should. It's not permanent either, TWM gives you a small squeeze tube of non-permanent loctite.

How do you use the loctite? I never bothered using it.

Just dab some on the screw, and bolt the screw down. Let it dry, and you're done. Use a good smudge of it, to cover the screw, but not so much that it leaks all over the place. I coated enough for me to see the thread, but covered the valleys in between. It's still nice and snug, and it's been over a year for me.

put it on the threads not the tip.

goofygamer · 01-04-2008, 07:23 PM

Oh. I just went to check mine and its still tight. Didn't use loctite either.

Sounds kinky! Haha just remember that a little goes a long way.

***Zeuceone*** · 01-04-2008, 07:27 PM

my ss has been on for almost a year and no problems.

Gr3y Goose · 01-04-2008, 07:29 PM

sometimes the bottom of the shifter cable rubs against the plastic base maybe that is your problem
