Hey,
I own a '98 F150 STX. My shifter **** repeatedly pulls off while shifting, especially from first to second. Finally took a look inside it and saw that the splines molded into the plastic are flat and gone though you can see where they were. Looks like the previous owner twisted it off for some reason. I can spin it when it's on the shifter. Any idea what I can use to keep it on the shifter? I would like to have it look nice as to me this truck is new being my first nice truck and only having 97,000 on it.

 

is it a consol shift?

 

I wouldn't say so being it's a truck. Just your standard truck shifter with a **** that says STX in the middle of it

 

crazy glue, epoxy, PL premium!

 

Those, plus other options are wrapping electrical or duct tape around the splines and shoving the **** back on, and ... buying a new shift ****.

 

Thanks guys. I will look into it. May get a new aftermarket **** eventually so I may not do anything permanent.

 

go to meijers and get a cheap one shaped like a scull in the meantime

 

mine is a console shift. whats being a truck have to do with anything?

 

They didn't have console shifters in the 10th gens. He's talking about a manual transmission shifter.

 

sorry my bad. next time ill pay attention.
