hello

I have a C4 6-speed which has a pro blem with the screw for the reverse
donut. It keeps coming loose. Every time I want to put the car in
reverse, I have to tighten it with a hex racket.

How can I fix this? Would a new screw help or do I have to get a new
shifter?

Any advise?

You can also get a crack in the donut from over tightening the hex screw.
This would also allow it to keep coming loose.
LocTite it and see.
