Hey I know that Im a new bolter but I could use some help. I am having a hard time getting a new gear shift knob on my old 59
The old one just broke apart yesterday. There was another one in the glove box much to my suprise however it will not seat on the shifter. It looks
like the correct part but I didn't want to force it on. Is there a trick to it?

thanks cliff59
