what do you mean? Are you talking about the shift knob? Because the pattern will not be straight, u gotta keep on removing it and turning it back on and then using more force, after about 5 times, u should be able to make the pattern straight. 🙂 mine is straight now, looks great 🙂 ---

hmm neat, i’ve taken it off quite a few times now and while I drive in 5th on the highway I noticed I tend to loosen and tighten it over and over but it keeps stopping at the same spot, I’ll put some serious force behind it on the way in to work tomorrow and see if I can make any progress 🙂 thanks for the tip! ---

use a bloody washer jeez… my shifter went in with no problems, I took the bushing off my oem shifter and there is no play at all. It’s perfect, I don’t like the knob personally so I put the oem one back on. if you stick with the mr knob just use a couple washers… ---

I’d rather have the $150 I saved buying the MR shifter instead of the B&M 🙂 They’re almost $200 + tax, no? ---

Quality I guess, Isn’t the MR SS just another OBX version ripoff? [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/need-help-megan-short-shifter/86709.md?page=1)
