Default Reverse lockout ring problem?

How often do the set screws back out of the reverse lockout ring?This has happened twice so Im thinking I should replace it.

I used a tiny dab of blue Locktite on mine. No more problems after that. I think I'd dab it on a new screw as well - one less thing to worry about!

Locktites the key Jeff. Mine was removed and the ZFDOC made a custom chrome shifter with no lockout. Thats another option as well. GC

I was going to use some Loctite the first time this happened but with the small set screws sometimes the socket will strip out when you try and get and remove it.Im going to replace the ring with a new part and keep an eye on the set screw.

I have a spare Lock out ring someone can have to experiment with. Let me know. No cost or obligation to you.

Thanks for the offer but I just went and bought a new one,$28 no big deal.The threads in the old one seem to be stripped.The first time this happened I got a little nervous but figured it out pretty quick what had happened.
