The shifting issue is fixed...reached for my "close enough" allen wrench set and tightened the bolt down....question is...can i locktite it when everything is covered in oil?

NO NO NO!

No loctite

Ask Randal why not...

Let's just say

You need the surface clean if you use an adhesive like locktite. Do yourself a favor and get new cone set screws. There is a hole in teh side where they press in a plastic dowell that acts somewhat like a nylock does.

the correct cone screws have a little piece of metal left in the thread that makes them lock. they're one time use only. and yes, the usual parts outlets should have them ...

PS: it was i who the shiftrod on randals car. it was easier and much faster that way. cut it, get it out of the car, deal with the locked up coupler on the work bench, then it back together.
was still faster than trying to fiddle with it under the car ...

Andy, the one's I've seen have a bit of Nylon, not a bit of metal.

Add John here in Napa to the list of locktiters.

Very timely.

Thank you for mentioning this to everyone Mark, I appreciate it

Yes, I just got done trying to drill out the cone screw from the rear linkage. Didn't go as well as I had hoped...ran out of drill bits size before it came out.

Lesson learned, no Locktite on cone screw. Now if you will all excuse me, I have some parts to order

Hey, we're all friends here. We all learn from each others mistakes. I've made plenty!

I'll make it up to you with the parts you need.
