Steeda Triax, T45.
I already put locking washers under the head of the bolts and RTV sealant on the base, but the bolts still back out.

Is this normal? If not, whys it doing this?

And can I use loc-tite on those bolts?

mine do it as well. I think i am gonna try a dab of lock tite. I believe the vibrations is what is causing it to work its way loose.

He said BLUE, as in BLUE loctite.

Do NOT use green unless you really like that shifter!

Yes use BLUE loktite.

Actually I just pulled mine off last weekend (virgin car) and there is a loctite patch on from Ford.
