JDM Shift Knob Alignment Issue
 
Move the thread if it's in the wrong place, I dont have time to look through hundreds of pages. Anywho.. I got a jdmpassword shift knob, the brass type 2

For some reasom, the 1-6 shift pattern on top of the knob is not lining up correctly, the pattern is vertical rather than horizontal. Im thinking its the column underneath the boot, possibly got turned a bit at some point. Any clues? Am i safe to vise grip that column underneath and carefully line it back up? Or should I not take any chances and just live with the vertical pattern?

I have the same issue too. I used a lot of Telfon tape on the shifter to the point you get to the right position and it's tight.

Is there any kinda of set screw inside the knob? My Lathe Werks knob has a set screw which you adjust up and down to adjust the point at which the knob botoms out and thus the alignment of the shift pattern.

Not with this shift knob

This is the type of thing that you need to make the stop point adjustable.

I have no idea on the size however.
