Thank you all. The previous owner of the car told me before he sold it he changed out the shift boot because the old one looked bad. I don't think he ever got the knob back on correctly and I just put it back the way he had it.
I've now gotten my knob on correctly and it does not come off.
I wonder if it was sitting a little higher making it a little easier to get into reverse, but it's moot now.
It's a lot more confidence inspiring now that my knob's not moving up and down.
I'm going to drain and refill my tranny with Redline MTL, how many quarts are needed?
I have the perforated M knob currently, I'm thinking about going to a weighted knob, like maybe the ZHP, but I've had weighted knobs before and never really noticed much difference. I might go for that after the fluid change.
