I cleaned it up nicely after installation and thought I'd take a little photo. I also made sure to include the "4 buttons" in case CJITTY is browsing.

shift **** came in.. looks great but i now understand what they mean when they say i doesn't fit... yes u can put it on.. yes it looks amazing BUT the only thing is it doesn't tighten down like the oem.. it remains a lil loose.. not that it spins or anything but if the car was a manual trans the **** will twist when changing gears..even when i put it into drive i'm conscious of it so i guide it into gear.. maybe some thread locking tape or loctite would hold it better.. you cant glue it as most mods to the radio require removing it to get the console out..

all in all i'm happy for the price you can't beat... definitely a great find...

I suggest try to stack a few very small washers on top of the shifter shaft. Then trying to tighten the shift **** on top of that. Should fill in and raise up the shift **** a few mm and allow you to tighten it

Here's a product I love. It's a resettable lock-tite type of thread locking adhesive.

I've use it in many applications in aircraft where it eliminates loosening of hardware due to vibration yet you can easily break the thread lock if needed.

Brush it on the threads, let it dry and assemble.
