On the first nights stop on a recent weekend tour, I noticed that my repo gear shift lever was starting to unscrew. At first, I was concerned that something serious was happening in the transmission. I drove it up and down the road in front of our hotel, and although it was kind of difficult find the right gear, it still drove ok without any strange noises. We continued on the tour and finally made it home. Today I removed the trans top and unscrewed the lever. I cleaned the threads, put a bunch of red Lock tight on them, and screwed it back together.
Today, after it set for 24 hours, I put it back together and drove it about 15 miles. All is good so far. Hope it lasts.
