I do have the "ferrule" ie the tapered nut installed at the bottom. That thing comes loose on a regular basis, and gives me something to do while waiting at stoplights. The plastic cone-shaped thing underneath it has sadly broken off over the years, and one wasn't given to me on the new interior kit.
I wonder if I can install a small washer or 2 underneath the cone-nut so where the threading stops on the gearshift lever, the nut would have no way to wiggle itself loose?
