Shifter ****
So, I have one of the few 5 spd explorer's out there...
and my shifter **** ha sworn to the point where it comes off pretty frequently.
has anyone else had to replace theirs? And if so, where did you come up w/ a replacement. (I'd prefer something cooler then not.)
anyone have any suggestions?

Shifter ****
Put a generous amount of silicone in the ball opening and stick it back in the shaft. Should hold it for a good while but still allow it to be removed for transmission service later. Worked on a Ranger pickup for me.

Shifter ****
I used a glue called "Welder" that I bought at WalMart. It worked great on the shifter **** and also repaired my inside door handle/arm rest.
You can buy a leather SHO **** from Texas Mustang Parts or several of the others. It is $30.00. But it has threads, so you would definitely have to find a good glue to hold it on.

I have a 96 5-spd Explorer and the same thing happened. I just used locktite superglue and it's been held on there for the last 4 years without a hitch.

Shifter ****
So, no one knows of any aftermarket ones that work well??? (Skulls, 8 *****, or something else equally as obnoxious?)

Shifter ****
Pull the **** off, put some masking tape on the stick then tap the **** back on, easy on the tape, one wrap is usually enough
