I have a old leather covered wooden gear shift knob and the bushing (pressure fit) has come out of it.
I'm going to epoxy the bushing back in, but was wondering if that pressure fit bushing needs to be "oriented" in any particular direction. IE - is it tapered? Thanks, Len |

if the crush ring no longer holds the knob you have a few options:
1) buy a new crush ring. ~$8 at Automotion or the other usual places. 2) toss the old ring and use paper or felt. You might be surprised how well this works. Fold a piece of computer paper on itself so it is 2 or 3 layers thick, 15mm wide, and about 2 inches long. Center it on the top of the shifter and tap the knob down over the paper. EASY! If too thick, unfold. If not thick enough, add a fold. 3) glue. You WILL eventually regret this one, but it works in a pinch. Zach |
