FiaCobra Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Took the KR out today for a quick blast since the weather is beautiful. Noticed the shifter was sloppy. Sitting at a light, I pop off the shifter cover and inspect the shifter handle bolts. Yup, loose as I suspected. Went home and wrenched them tight. I guess someone at Shelby took a lunch break at that time....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REAL ONE Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Good thing you caught it before the nuts came off and the handle came detached!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuisA Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 When I replaced the shifter boot, I had to remove the shifter and found both bolts to be finger tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowCar Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Heres what we have been doing for customers with sloppy shifters, we take the bolts out and use High Stength Loc-tite on the bolts and tighten them down. They never loosen up again till the clutch needs replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
