[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16239400, member: 138028"] Yes, the shifter handle has that 3/4" nut below when you screw it into the gold shifter base (along with the flat washer and lockwasher). I did use locktite to tighten down the handle to the base but what I did is jam 2 nuts together on the top where the ball threads in to tighten the handle that way before I thread the ball in. Not using Loctite on the ball makes it easy to remove to get the console out in the future if I need to. Since the ball isn't rotating with use I'll leave it and not bother with the locktite. I did Loctite the ball after the mods to the stock shifter since at the time I thought I was done in that area and wasn't going to open it up again then obviously the MGW changed that. Having to use the pliers to remove the ball to start the MGW install caused the slight scuffing of the OE ball that's there now. I will put my new OE ball on at some point but I definitely don't want to damage that one if down the road I have to access that area again for servicing. [/QUOTE]
