Problem with B&M short shifter

[tmc]

I installed a B&M short shifter in my 99 C2. I can't cinch the stop screw on the front bracket tight enough, it keeps on loosening. I've used the jam nut, but it doesn't stop it from loosening over the course of a day or so.

Any suggestions? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Use a little Loctite.

Thanks for the reply Loren.

I tried blue loctite, didn't seem to hold it.

Is this a common problem with the B&M kit? If so, I'll buy the OEM SSK and ebay this mofo.

You could try Loctite Red.

I have not seen the problem before.

Perhaps it is a bad kit -- have you talked to the B&M folks?

Would this cause the B&M to make a clunky noise when you move the stick around? I noticed my B&M is noisier than the stock unit. There is a tiny bit of play when you move the stick around and it makes a clunky noise. I wonder if there is a way to make it operate more quietly.

Yes, probably. I went back in and re-tightened the bolt and then tightened the lock washer, and it no longer rocks around.
