I said you could use some silicone RTV inside the shift knob where it sits atop of the shift lever "forks" or notched lever. Normally the shift knob "snaps" or "locks" into position on top of the lever.
Yes that makes sense. My issue/question is the BMW performance shift boot comes with excess material and no slits at the top where the knob would snap into the clip, like the oem shifter .. So do I cut 3 small holes into the excess material ? Or how did you get the actual prongs from the shift knob through the boot material into the clip? I cut my first shift boot with 3 small holes (ended up not being so small) put the prong through and clipped the white clip on the other side.. My issue is in first or reverse you can see a hole I cut when the material is stretched . I hope that made sense and appreciate your input .
