Gear Knob - Additional Part(s) ????

[d95gas]

Hi All,

 

Hoping someone might be kind enough to advise. the gear know on my 2005 350 moves around with vibration from the gearbox. Nothing major, but annoys the hell out of me as I cannot tighten the knob up....Why?

 

well if I tighten the knob up as tight as it will go, the gear plate points roughly to the 2 o'clock position.

 

To get the knob to sit with the plate facing straight on, you have to turn it back...its then lose and vibrates around.

 

I have taken the knob off and had a good look at the thread and the internal of the knob but nothing stands out as wrong. So I am wondering if there is maybe another part that goes in the knob to make it sit right.

 

Can anyone advise please.

 

 

thanks

I can't remember of the top of my head.

 

But a quick fix for this would be to put a rubber washer inside the knob (with an internal diameter bigger than the thread of course).

You may need more than one depending on it's thickness to get the knob in the correct place.

I changed mine to a leather nismo one. It looks fairly OEM and stopped the rattling noise.
