TRD Pro shifter knob issue

Wazzup TW!

My beautiful wife suprised me with a pro shifter knob. Install was easy but I'm having an issue with it being tight enough. It's at the point where I feel if I turn it one more full turn it might break but where it is now its to lose. Anyone else have this issue? I don't have a problem cranking on it if it won't break but the threads inside the knob are plastic so... I'm OCD and it being sort of lose is killing me.

I appreciate the help.

 

Well your going to have to keep twisting till it’s snug

 

Tighten it, I was the same way with my stock knob until it drove me nuts

Now its snug

 

Nuff said... Hopefully if it breaks I can still send it back haha

 

If u don’t want to do that, u can put something in the hole of the knob to give it just a little spacer. That way it lines up and gets tight.

 

Have any idea of how long such thing may need to be? Would save me a lot of taking it on and off

 

Teflon tape

 

Just ball it up and shove it down there?

 

Use a couple of wraps of electrical tape on the threads.

 

Well I'm happy with my shift knob so I haven't tried it but if its threaded the more you Wrap the threads the tighter it will feel before you feel like you'll break it .

 

Maybe except it's a lot thicker. And isn't technically a thread tape.

 

Roger. I know what your talking about.

 

I have a TRD Pro came with the shift knob after a couple thousand miles mine came lose I thought it broke then realized it wasn’t threaded all the way down turned it one more full turn haven’t had an issue. I’d say turn another full turn and test it out.

 

The problem is it gets really tight after another half turn and I'm afraid I'll break the plastic threads if I force it the rest of the turn to straighten it back out.

 

Well mine did make me a bit nervous tightening it as it came around but maybe best in your case to just go with the Teflon tape suggestion

 

Man, TW, what a resource.

Teflon tape made it a 10 sec fix! Thanks @Frankenstuff

 

I seriously spit out my shit

 

Red loctite

 

I know I feel like an idiot but my mind was still thinking about this post.

 

Thought about it but at some point ill regret that decision when I need to get it off again.
