Shifter ball popped off in my hand today doing a 2-3 shift in moderate city driving on my way home tonight.
Conditions:
1) I've never tried to loosen or play with the shifter ball
2) my BOSS is 2 years old with 3100 Regular road miles
3) it was 88 here in Boston area and car sat in the sun for 9 hours while I was at work.
4) I pushed it back on. Seems keyed in a way as no rotation possible.
5) when I got home 20 minutes later even moderate pulling didn't pull the shifter ball back off
Has anyone experienced this? I recall seeing threads of some struggling to get their shifter ball off. Can't remember if it's an interference fit or just slide on with adhesive. Couldn't really inspect as I was going 30 mph and just jammed it back on. Obviously, I need to ensure it is secure. Guess I'll have the dealer do it formally. Needless to say, I shifted gently the rest of the ride home. M
