Shift knob question
Dumb question time. What is the silver, plastic ring below the shift knob? What purpose does it serve, if any?
On mine, it is loose enough that I can spin in easily with my fingers. It doesn't seem to tighten or loosen--it just spins. Just curious if something is off on mine.

Turn clockwise for overdrive and anticlockwise for under-drive, its in the owners manual page 666.

It's a piece of trim. It does exactly nothing. I replaced my knob so I don't recall if my OEM spins or no.

stop playing with the knob so much while you drive. It can cause blindness as well, didnt the priest tell you that?
