yeah after you remove and replace the shift knob about 3-4 times it will come loose... at the most inopportune time too
which is one of the reasons why i got my aftermarket knob. it has a special patented locking ring and it only takes 2lb of force to remove and replace and lasts the life time of the car
versus 80lb for the stock knob and only 3-4 cycles.
