2003 Accord 6 Speed shift ****
I did some work on the stereo which required removing the shift **** on
my 2003 Accord V6 Speed. Unfortunately when I put it back on it doesn't
even come close to lining up right. If I tighten it all the way the text
on the **** is upside down.
Anybody got any ideas on how I can get it to look right again? I can't
just tighten it part of the way because it's way too loose.
TIA,
Bob

You might try putting a number of wraps of Teflon tape on the threads, and
see if that takes up the slack enough for you.

Was there a locknut underneath the ****. If so, you align the **** and
tighten it with the locknut. Otherwise tape or insert something inside the
**** to take up the slack -- .

use the locknut on the stick to adjust it.

Re: 2003 Accord 6 Speed shift ****
Thanks for the feedback everyone. There is a nut under the ****, but
it's not a locknut. It turns with the **** so even turning it up a bit
doesn't help since once the **** gets to it, it just turns the nut down
with it. The teflon tape idea didn't quite pan out, either.
I'll try stuffing some paper in the **** and hopefully it will be enough
to stop it a half turn short of where it is now.
I'd sure like to know how they do it in the factory.
