Note: No need to remove the wood console to tighten the shift lever. Just pull up the vinyl boot, inverting it, and the 15mm locking nut is just below the black "rubber" shift knob, near the top part of the vinyl boot, (when in the "deployed" position). Just hold the shift knob with your left hand and tighten the nut with your right hand, then re-invert the boot to "normal" position and replace. Fixed!
