Welcome to the forum Pud.
The shifter handle is it manual or Auto?

I lost the subject in the original message somewhere.
The shifter handle keeps coming loose.  the original owner had a small tack weld holding it in place but that hasnt worked too good.  its on  1 64 vette (red of course) 4 speed manual.  There is no where to screw, bolt or whatever.  it just seems to slot into the right position but there is nothing there to hold it.    Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Well.....I dont know if its broken or not.....there is just no where to secure it.  it fits into the slot ok but theres nothing to hold it there.  whether there is something broken off - i cant tell you.

thank you very much for that...it was excellent.  it would appear that the original weld should have been there but I would say over time, it finally gave way.  It has certainly solved the problem.  Thank you all for your information and I can now sleep much better.

tah once again
