Last night i was driving through town and my f'ing DC short shifter snapped where the shift **** screws on. Wtf? A DC doing this? Does anybody know if DC offers a warrenty and is it a royal pita to replace it?

Never heard of OEM shifter broken LOL

If seriously - **** happens, even best companies have their share of failures, albeit small...

I went by a tractor trailer machine shop and they were able to dye-grind the shifter for me and get the old threads out of the ****. Now I have a short-short shifter but it beats the crap out of shifting with a rod. Im still going to replace it though. It wont last long.
