I had the shift knob come off in my hand on a 3-2 downshift the other day. This is one of those knobs w/ a lighted shift pattern, so it didn't go very far because of the attached wires. I looked all over for a missing part or set screw, or some mechanism to retain this thing to the shaft. RealOEM doesn't show any locating hardware either. Am I missing something, or is this just a shoddy design (looks like something from a Ford or Chevy)? It looks like a replacement is $100+. Yikes! Has anyone BTDT and if so, what was your solution?

TIA ,
