Guys,

I guess this must be a common problem - my gear lever sleeve keeps coming loose and then the knob itself is loose and spins round. It's getting to the stage where I have to tighten it up 2-3 times every journey.

Any ideas on what would fix it? Would lock-tite be a good idea?

Thanks,
Richard.

the collar on mine tends to come a little loose and then rattles, I just give it a quick twist back up again. The gear-knob is always solid and never loosens up,

The collar on mine unwindes, but generally only cos I rest my hand on it and you tend to fiddle with it while cruising around. But my evil "KNOB" sperm is SOLID.
Try something less solid than loctite or give it a good tight SCREW, stick a rag on it get some grips in it and tighten. If that fails loctite is a last resort.
