Shifter fall off on 05?

[Kento-Moto]

How many have had the gear shift fall off on your 05?

I have a nieghbor that bought an 05 and he tells me his had fell off twice! Well I remembered that someone here said the same thing so I am thinkin you 05 owners have an issue to address with the dealer or Factory or

I just wondered how many of you have experienced this?

Thanx - Kent

The shaft that the shifter pivots on was not tight on my '05. I reassembled and torqued it down with some red Locktight. I don't think it will fall off now.

I put up a post on this quite awhile ago, it has indeed happened to quite a few folks on here. Have your neighbor follow the advise in the post before mine. Take it apartthen use red loctite on it and it won't ever back out again.

New to the board first post. Happened to me yesterday at about 220 miles. Pull off freeway and go to downshift and the shifter is just hanging there. Nursed it in 4th gear to a industrial park and screwed it back in. Had to settle for threadlock from a local Home Depot. I miss my Honda fit/finish.
