Loose shifter ring causing rattling noise

Leftee95 · Apr 2, 2021

The only rattling noise my ‘66 Satellite makes is from the loose ring inside the shifter surrounding the engage button. I’d love to know how to disassemble this and add a gasket? Other suggestions to tighten it up and prevent it from rattling around in there?

The button looks to be adjusted a little deep. Loosen the set screw and spin the knob until the ribbed part is more flush with the housing. Set screw should be at 6 o'clock.

Thank you, will give that a go.

Have the same problem, thought about using a 1/8" strip of clear tape around button. The part of button that inside outer housing.

You could down grade it to the updated plastic knob. I just keep my thumb on it.

Wonder when that changed. My 68 had the plastic button since day 1.

I believe they started in 67.
