Default HELP!! TRD **** won't screw on tight!

I have the Creative Compacts short shifter and I just tried to put on a TRD **** and it won't screw on tight. It feels like it is then it just keeps spinning. What do I do?

the cc short shifter likes the thread out shift *****.. my stock **** and other ***** were threaded out... so basically its constantly spinning because there is no longer grip, there is no locking mechanism. Dang shame because the trd **** owns. The simple solution is buy a shift ****, with ajustable internal sizes and etc. thanks

you could try throwing a thin piece of plastic or metal around the threads and thread the **** down onto that. try aluminum foil folded like 20 times over or somthing like that.

Here's your solution Scion-ce. Remove the plastic and foam washer from the shifter. There's a pic of it in this thread(6th picture from top)

After reading about your problem, I went to screw on my oem **** and it did the same thing. After messing with it awhile, I noticed if you removed these washers, it allows you to screw on the **** tight like it should be. Here's a pic of what I removed. That should do the trick. Good luck.
