shift star

Ive had an issue that has happened twice now. After i got my tranny back from tyson it has been great, pro mod was a good choice for me. But, a while back I noticed i couldnt find neutral anymore and was hanging on some gears, so naturally i thought the eccentric screw needed adjusting, wrong. I took everything off and the shift star screw came out along with the dowel pin and the star came way out of alignment. I put the dowel pin and screw back in tighten it up and this past ride same thing happened.  My question is , how the hell do you tighten that screw down hard enough so it dont come out? can I put in it first gear ( so the drum wont turn) and use a 20v drill to hammer it down a tad? whats the best way to do it aside from splitting the cases.

As stated above, blow the threads out with some carb cleaner or brake cleaner, clean the little screw real good too.  If you have had issues with it in the past, I would just go for the red loctite.  I've never had one back out with using a small dab of blue loctite on there.  If it happens again, maybe order a new screw.  Perhaps the threads are just a little worn or out of spec.

yeah thats a good thought, if it comes again its getting the red stuff. I really tried to back it out by hand hte other day with a bit of strength on it and it wouldnt move.  i know the 7 vibrates more, but it should stay put now
