Gear **** fix

Ok, dumb question (and to quote Mr Garison from SouthPark "there are no stupid questions only stupid people"):o

Anyone have a quick fix to stop your gear **** spinning after using Lit J's loose **** for reducing shifter noise.

Have condisdered superglue and teflon tape?

Any suggestions?

how about you stop playing with your.... gear **** :-| only joking...what is the fix you are talking about?

In general, to fix those sorts of things, I would consider some plumbers thread tape!?

I know...That mazda keyring we get with the 2 screws to secure the keys.

I lubed (LOL) the screw with silicon then screwed it in. Now i cant get my keys out. LOL

Jokes. Its hand tight thats for sure. But you should give it a try, at your own risk that it

could be stuck there for the cars life...Unless you bring out the good ol'.....HACKSAW!

If you are really desperate.. I know that Tamiya makes a thread lock for plastics what should work quite well.. I used to use it all the time back in my radio control car days
You can get it in a small tube from your local hobby shop. al la Hobby Co. etc etc..

I didn't need to loosen mine too much. Loosen to ensure clearance between the base of the **** and the vinyl shift boot.
