I have a 5 speed '98 XJ, and there's is a bolt inside my shifter knob that has started rattling, and it is AWFUL. When I unscrew the knob I can see it, and I can get it to line up with the hole, but when I tilt the knob to screw it back on it just slides out of alignment again. Even when I wiggle the shifter back and forth to check that it's in neutral I can hear it rattle!

I'd just fill the hole with RTV or bath tub cauking. No more rattle, and you MIGHT be able to get the knob off if you ever need to.

I don't have a stick, but I would wrap it a time or two with teflon tape and then re-thread the knob back on to see if that helps take the slop out, thus eliminate the rattle.

Just replace the knob with an aftermarket one.....
Mine from my 87 Mazda (if there was a way to adapt it to fit an AW4 shifter, I sure as shit would):

I dig my stock shifter knob though, I think I'm going to try the RTV trick tomorrow.poorboy_616

The leopard print lasted just the one photo shoot. BTW, they added ZERO to the HP quotient, however, the 32/36 Weber added about 10-15 ponies to an already anemic 85 HP 2.0L 4cyl.
