I have a 96 SS with the leather covered shifter ***... I don't know if it supposed to do this or not, but the leather cover is loose and spins on the ***... if it's not supposed to do that, how can I fix it?

 

if its just the round ball i think its supposed to do that becuase i have the same kind and the three other 6 speed camaros i have driven have all been loose where you can rotate the ball maybe to make it easier while shifter to have a little give on the ball

Uhhh, no...no...it's not supposed to do that...

 

well like i said i wasnt sure but just every six speed i have seen or driving has had that maybe its a defect of some kind i have just always thought it is supposed to be like that
thanks for the clarification

 

No Prob, Bro!

They really aren't supposed to do that. I think the glue ends up losing it's stickiness and ends up letting the cover just spins.

I may be wrong, but that's one of the reasons everyone switches to an after market ****...

...like me!

You might be able to figure a way to reglue it, or take it to an upholstery shop. I'm sure they could do it...

how much was your tall leather **** do you have in your car E?
thanks

 

How did you guys that have an aftermarket **** on an aftermarket shifter get it to stay in place?
I've got a B&M Ripper and and B&M short leather ****.
It doesn't screw in - it just has 3 set screws that hold it in place.........they come loose a couple of time a year, so I have to carry around an allen key to tighten them up all the time.
What did you do with yours?

 

That's interesting. I actually have the B&M tall leather shifter ****. It basically comes with different size shims that make it a universal fit. It doesn't have any set screws. I had originally purchased the short ****, and it installed the same way. No set screws either!

I would suggest using some lock-tite. I would use the blue thread locker for that particular application. I actually used it on the Pro 5.0 handle cause those screws kept backing out on me. Not since the thread locker though...

I got that **** from the local Kragen parts store. It is 29.99 plus tax. If they don't have it, they'll order it and have it in two-three days...No charge for shipping!

I like the tall over the short. The short one was too small for my hands. The best thing about the tall **** is it fits like a pistol grip. It has finger grooves and a thumb groove. Gives a very positive feel to the awesome Pro 5.0!

Not to mention it perfectly matches the graphite interior...

Yeah... I'n pretty sure it's not supposed to spin... I never noticed it before untill one day I was just sitting in my car and noticed that is was loose...
