Tightening gear knob

I've noticed that my shift knob on my 2016 TRDOR Auto is very loose and after some basic attempts when stopped at a red light, i can't seem to figure out how to tighten the damn thing.

I tried holding the fo-leather skirt and turning the knob but i cant seem to get the knob but not the skirt to turn.

I may be missing something super obvious but does anyone have any suggestions before it drives me insane and i start ripping apart the center console?

 

The lower bezel on the knob clamps the skirt to the knob. Drop the lower bezel, rotate the knob clockwise to tighten, then snap the lower bezel back in place.

 

This.

 

You may want to upgrade to the fancy-looking TRD Pro shift knob when it becomes available.

 

I'm sure its going for $500 bucks like the grill and the front skid.......

 

The prices will probably come down in time.

 

Nah, more like $200 It wouldn't be proper to cost more than a Lexus "F" shift knob:

 

Over-rated for that price....

 

Do you know if the F Sport knob is out for the Lexus 3rd gen IS? Every time I ask, its not out yet.

 

Is there any particular trick to dropping the lower bezel, or can you just pull it down with your fingers?



I'm happy I stumbled upon this thread, that loose knob has been driving me nuts.

 

On the MT shift knobs (I believe the ATs are similar) you twist the chrome ring separately from the knob itself (about a quarter turn should do it). This should free up the clips and let the boot slide down.

OA

 

A/t knob just pull straight down on the ring, it just snaps on

 

On my '16 AT, just pull down the ring, and twist the knob. I had to tighten it last week.

 

Yes, pull straight down. Mine was this way when I took delivery 4 months ago.

 

No idea. The one from RC-F should fit, or you can get the one from Grazio&Co. with the F logo.

 

Same here, shift knob on mine also loose, easy fix though... seems to be common on our 16s..

 

I tightened her up while driving to lunch today. Took all of 7 seconds.

Now that loose as a goose knob doesn't drive me crazy anymore.

Thanks amigos!!

 

It's still a ripoff (my carbon Lexus IS-F shift knob was only $70), but not as crazy as expected: http://trdparts4u.toyotaofdallas.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=-10934
