Looks like it just has plastic bumps to lock it in.
One or both may be broken or misshapen.

Epoxy is probably your best bet.

I've driven my car now for about 6,000 miles since December. I live in a place with race-track roads right at the end of my driveway, I still haven't really understood what difference the sport button makes. Yup, the throttle mapping changes, but I'm not sure it makes the car really any faster, I guess it can speed up (3-pedal) shifting. The steering switch to me just makes the car more twitchy than it already is and changes the turn in feel.

Not sure I get the point of the sport button.

I think you've actually got it--it makes the response various inputs have "more" input. HP, TQ, nothing changes there. If you're driving an AT car, the shift points change and that's the biggest plus to many.

Otherwise, and on a 6MT, many find the greater sensitivity does just what you have noted--makes it more twitchy. Even on the ///M, where it affects throttle only, I do not find I can modulate the throttle since it turns into an on/off switch.

Interesting times they were indeed.

Oh, yep, I'd forgotten that!
