it's just a metal stick. there's not too much you can really fuck up.

i broke mine?

Cheap crap breaks easily, even a B&M short shifter is not too much more expensive and uses Steel instead of Aluminum which breaks a lot easier than steel. And if it does break, you not only lose the shifter but the shift knob as well (as the threads will break off in the shift knob). That's what I've been told at least, I have a B&M, paid less than $50 shipped and it's solid.

i wouldn't have thought even a crappy aluminum shifter would break, considering it's held in mostly by rubber and plastic, but i've seen three of them break with my own eyes, so i guess i can verify the rumors. i went with B&M... solid steel, haven't had a problem.

exactly what happened to me

Give me a call I'll get you a good one. You don't want those cheap ones.. they tend to break in half midshift.

I like the B&M shifters, they have a good heft to them so they seem to shift a lot smoother.. Stainless doesn't fatigue..
