    broken shifter

    anybody else with a 3rd gen ever break the stock shifter.....just wanting to warn everyone i got 5 stiches in my wrist due to the bullsh*t mid shaft "bushing" in the middle of the stock shifter....advice...if your gonna "slam" gears get cartboy first.

    (due to a comment posted last night Maybe this was too confusing for some people so let me first clarify before you get to my second post that i was NOT slamming gears just warning people who do.)

    Holy crap, I don't think I've ever heard of a shift lever snapping like that.

    HULK SHIFT!

      funny thing is i wasnt slamming gears the, if you ever look at the shifter theres a thick cylinder type thing that adds the top 5 or 6 inches to the shifter...looks like there is a rubber bushing in it. well the whole top half of the shifter broke off that bushing.

        That sucks, but atleast you can just order a shortshifter and the problem is solved.

          yeah but i dunno.....i managed to beat a P.O.S shifter knob on the remaining shaft and the shifter feels pretty good....it there really a whole lot of difference in throw with the kartboy?

                got pics

                you know what...i just got back from lunch, and even though the shifter is kinda ghetto right now...its still kinda cool...feels kinda like a supra shifter...forgot how exciting it is to drive your car the first couple days with a new mod, no matter if it was accidental or not.

                  So you're driving it around without the top peice? If you like the height that it is, get the kartboy because it will probably be similar height, but the throws will be much shorter.

                    yeah i'd have to say thats a first, some people were removing that top part to make short shifters, but they had to use blow torches, not just rip it off, lol

                            No matter how hard you pull on a shifter, it shouldn't break off. Enough said.
