Short Shift Snapped

So on the way home today, changing into 3rd only doing about 35, my shift snapped. To say i pooped myself is an understatement. I never actually installed this in the car and it was already in when i bought it. It looks like a japspeed one but i'm not sure. I presume I will have to buy a new short shift, or is this repairable? And has this happened to anyone before?

Could be that yours is a cheap eBay copy of the "Japspeed" (which is a cheap copy of the B&M version) one which is why it's snapped?! :shrug:

 

I've not heard of this happening before but I'm sure it's happened to someone before. I guess if you want to keep it like it was then your only option is to buy a new short shifter kit and fit that. Just don't get it off eBay.

I once had the gearstick in an old Fiat Uno snap on me.

 

Late at night... on the moors... with a "lady friend" in the car... and looooong before the advent of mobile phones too...

 

That fairly killed any passion that was building, let me tell ya! :lol:
