This seems to be happening every 2 months, on the dot.

The overdrive gearshift knob loosens up. When the final loosening happens, I 
have to once again prise off the cover, and then awkwardly screw on the nut. A 
bit difficult since it's just those 2 notches you can screw on.

I tried making a washer for it to fit underneath(under the main nut, inside the 
knob), but gave up after countless filing. Probably would have been too thick 
anyway.

Anyone know of a perma-fix? The loctite did not seem to help. Should I try some 
sort of crude washer again, or file-down an old screwdriver to make a 
specialized tool? I'm surprised Victoria British hasn't made one for $39.95. 

Wow, still driving the Spitfire(with the top up) in October, in Minnesota no 
less!
