If that is the case, put some JB weld up in there!

 

mine comes lose at under 40. the white part is actually threaded and the knob is supposed to be glued for the factory. so just glued it or back on. i am going 2 be replacing my this summer when i can get it 2 unscrew

 

i live in nj and was pretty cold yesterday and drove the car no movements at all on the shift knob, drove it today (warmer today compared than yesterday) same thing no movement

 

was able to drive my car friday night for about 40 milrs and was really chilly, shift knob was fine.

 

Mine has yet to come off and I only notice it when first getting in my car and it has to be under 30 degrees. And it's fine once the car gets warm inside. If it pops off I guess the dealer can fix that and my seat.

 

hahaha i thought i was the only one with this problem, people get into my car and see the shift pattern upside down and they are like dude what happened im like i dont wanna talk about it

 

+1!

i see in the pic there shift knob comes off of the white thing. the white thing is what threads on, correct? if so, jb weld fo sho

 

No problems here...although my E-Brake handle was slipping off when I bought the car.

 

-9 standing temp today on the way to work, -30ish windchill and mine is holding strong. Maybe once it gets so cold it freezes on there

 

that is the absolute weirdiest thing i've ever heard. I swapped the stock one for the JDM alumninum and leather 5MT knob on day one of ownership and it hasnt budged (I'm in a Chitown suburb if that means anything).

I guess follow others' advice and use locktite? I mean it's supposed to screw off anyways (just not involuntarily). Good luck!

 

Yeah I have the same problem, I had the stealership order me a new one. hopefully the fit will be better.

 

update

i just got back from the dealer. i told them the issue and how others have had the same issue. the service manager is having it replaced, and he commented on how the engineers need to go back to school or something like that. he thought it was a ridiculous design flaw.

just letting others know...there aren't any threads to be putting locktite on. this is a design flaw, let the dealership take care of you.

 

Mine does the same thing. Showed it to the dealer and they tightened it somehow. The knob hasn't come off again but this morning I noticed that it wasn't straight anymore. It really is a pretty crappy design, I mean a metal knob over a piece of plastic. Why not just thread the metal knob?

 

Cool! Thanks for the info!

 

mine came loose this morning a little bit, only 500 miles on the car. soon as the car warmed up it didn't move, i just took it easy on the shift knob.
