Just thought I'd let you all know that when I finally put my Speed Cal in last week(After almost a month since I swapped in the 4.10's I got LAZY .) , I was trying to figure out how to get my Bullitt shift knob to tighten up better. My buddy was having the same problem and he was thinking of using some loc-tite

I thought about using a washer at the bottom, but I couldn't find one with a big enough hole that was small enough in diameter so it wouldn't stick out on the sides. So, I ended up trying some Teflon tape.

After a few trys, it took about 2 1/2-3 wraps of tape around the threads of the shifter. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE THREADS. It worked perfect, and the knob now stays in place. Just thought I'd share, in case anyone needed the same fix. Plus, if I you ever need to remove it, it won't be a problem or a mess like loc-tite would.

I have been having a he** of a time with my Steeda cue-ball knob. The shift pattern on the knob never stays lined up right. I am going to give this a shot. Thanks...!!!
