Is this on a manual or automatic? Pretty sure you just line up the whole on the shift knob with the screw on the shift knob and turn it around till it falls in place then just tighten it up

I put a little contact adhesive on the threads(just a little drop) before I screwed mine back on. It will hold the knob from turning, but you'll still be able to give it a good twist and break it loose it you need to. Just screw it down until it lines up and let it cure for a while.

Not to come off like a wise-ass. Just turn clockwise till its tight. Good luck

hmm mine is a little lose as well but I have to give it some effort to twist it. You can always use it as an excuse to get a cool shift knob to replace it

If you don't plan on swapping your knob, you could put a little locktite on the threads and alight it straight. That way it wont come loose again and it'll be straight.

This. Probably your best solution. My shift knob moved a bit last summer when the temperatures were quite hot. locktite should set it in place for a while.
