generic shifters suck
 

I was driving to work today and my ebay short shifter snapped about 3/4 of an inch down from the bottom of the shifter knob. Luckily I was coming to a stop so it didnt cause any accidents. Sucked having to shift the rest of the way with what was left.

oh well it did last 2 years or so but i suppose the moral is, dont skimp out on a shifter, getta name brand.

- personally, I think shopping on e-bay is a crap shoot and I don't do it. Glad you didn't have an accident.

ebay isnt a crap shoot if you know whats up but generic parts definately arent worth chancing. I knew the part was generic, its like the first mod I did back when I got the car. Never again tho, with the non name brand![8D]

wow man, i've heard stories about that but sh*t, that sucks bad. Do you shift real hard?

two years for about 20 bucks? i think it did its job lol

RE: generic shifters suck
 

lol yea 2 years is not too shabby. I dunno Flip,I dont really drive my car that hard...I just think it was some really crappy metal alloys goin on.

Damn, that heinous. Good to hear everything worked out though. You get a replacement shifter yet?

RE: generic shifters suck
 

Do you have a picture of where it broke? I would like to see what the metal did at the break.
