Shift Knob Threaded Insert Install DIY
Step #10
Pictured to the left is the insert in it’s final resting position once it has been backed off counter clockwise to ensure proper engraving alignment. Continue to hold the insert in this position. Step #11 While still holding the insert in place, thread the jam nut up the shaft (counter clockwise) until it touches the bottom of the aluminum insert. Step #12 Still holding the insert in position with the 15mm wrench, use a 9/16” open ended wrench to tighten the jam nut up against the bottom of the insert. Do not tighten the insert down as this will change the logo orientation. Simply hold it in position while tightening the jam nut from below. The jam nut is tightened against the insert by rotating counter clockwise. Step #13 Re-install the shift knob and tighten down by hand. If the insert was adjusted correctly the engraving will line up properly. If the logo does not quite line up properly, remove the shift knob and repeat steps 8 to 12 to adjust the insert and jam nut to line it up. Only minor adjustments should be required at this point. PLEASE NOTE: if you re-adjust the knob, loosen the jam nut FIRST by holding the aluminum insert with a 15mm wrench and rotating the jam nut CLOCKWISE. Do not loosen the insert first, simply hold it with the wrench and loosen the jam nut to maintain approximately the correct orientation of the insert. DONE! I hope this will make their DIY easier to access for all of you on the forum and that you enjoy your newly installed shift knob!! Chuck |
