Default shift **** issues

so I got a new shift ****, it's the white roush one from AM that is for the 05+. The guy at the shop I was at this week said the handle threads were the same size so it wouldn't matter but I just tried to put it on and it didn't want to go. Obviously they list it as 05+ for a reason...

so I dont care I'm just going to force it on and replace the ****/handle when I get an mgw in a month or so. Do you recommend loctiting the threads or using plumbers tape or what? I know this is dumb but I'm replacing it anyway so I dont care. Just tell me the surest way to keep it on there. Thanks!

I just cranked mine down. A little loctite wouldn't hurt though.

yah I actually just went out and put some plumbers tape on it and cranked it down. it took all I could give it to get it lined up straight and that bitch is not moving. I checked out the threads cuz I put it on a couple times before finally leaving it but only the threads on the **** are getting messed up so I really dont even care at all. guess I didnt' need help after all but thanks guys!
