Default Help shifter post treads are stripped

Original shifter started slipping so I bought a new shifter several months ago. New one is slipping now. Is there a good quick fix?
Thanks

Many years ago I had one do the same, I finally put a bolt all the way through it and put a nut on it.
Never had the problem again.

above is the best way... you can also see about getting some emry cloth around it then tightening down the bolt, to hold it all in place. just an idea... bolt through it is the best way to do it though
