Default loctite question

a question for u glue guru's. my new shift ball needs a dab of glue to secure it so that the shift pattern is facing the right direction. what loctite color should i use? i want it on tight, but not so tight that i can remove it if i need to.

LocTite 242 (blue)
Its an anarobic adhesive that sets up in the absence of air and
the presence of metal.
Be sure all threads are super clean or it wont set up properly.
A jam nut with the proper threads is the right way to keep the
shift **** from spinning and becoming unindexed.
