Every 6 months I have to retighten the cone screw on the shifter. This time it came out real quick. I thought it might come out all together. I couldn't get 2nd without hitting reverse. The picture shows how much the screw backed out.
Not sure how much torque I applied but I was bending the allen wrench. Questions: Should I have thread locker on this? What is the torque required for the cone screw? Possible that the threads have been widened by repeated looseness? Why didn't they put a bolt through this to really lock the hub onto the shaft? TIA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached image(s)
