sticker on shift knob came off!!!
i know its not a big deal but it is kinda of annoying. did this happen to anyone else? i guess from being parked out in the heat, the glue softened up and the sticker came right off. anyone know where i can order a new sticker or stock MR 6 speed shift knob?

Happened to me this summer too. It is hanging by a thread of adhesive while awaiting a new knob. Still up in the air if I want to go Fortune Ti (likely) or Delrin.

Worst case - get some epoxy and it will stick.

Take the shift knob off and get yourself a counter-weighted one.

It sounds like they made these shift knobs cheap because it's happening to a lot of people. Your only bet would be to either glue it back or buy a new shift knob from Mitsubishi. They probably want like $200 for the knob lol

^pretty much! But why buy another from Mitsu when the one we already bought (with the car) is having issues with adhesive.

+1 for buying one that is weighted. I like the Blox feel, but it sits kinda high for my tastes.

Or you just get a new and / or better shift knob!

Mine is still holding on. I actually really like the feel of the stock shift knob.
