Default Oh Noes!

I got in my car today to go to work; when I started it, I went to put it in neutral before letting out the clutch and found the shifter could move freely front to back... Oh fuck. I've been down this road a dozen times with my previous car. I popped the hood and found the stud that holds the ball to the plate had sheared off:








FML. I drove around on that for two months; It finally decided to shear at 7:30 in the morning hahaha.

I'm pretty sure I didn't tighten it that much, but I guess the evidence suggests otherwise @jbarone, Looks like I'll be ordering a new stud and Hex piece. I could probably find it locally but I'm not sure about the hex piece and really don't feel like fishing the stud out of the current one.

For the time being I put the plate off and placed the factory weight back on. Holy Jesus... it feels like I'm driving my father's old '88 Ranger (Or maybe one of the snowplows he works with). If you think the shift plate makes a big difference when you put it on, try taking it off and you'll really appreciate it. I have to keep reminding myself that my transmission is synchronized and I don't have to double shift

So it was loose for months or are you thinking you may have over tightened it?

Either way no worries, shoot me a PM with your order # and I'll put another in the mail.

Thanks,
Jamie

I'm assuming I overtightened it based on how it sheared off like that. Strange thing is it was fine when I parked the car last night, and was detached this morning... must have snapped when the engine rocked on startup.

Your customer service is unreal. Can I have your babies?

PM sent.

Love it. Can't wait to get the plate back on there. No love for two feet of shifter travel.
