Mine is fine after a full year and lots of hard drag strip abuse. Still, I'm wondering what the original poster's problem was.

So there I was, stuck rush hour traffic, in the fast lane, and I could do a dam thing except sit there abd wait for the flatbed to show up. I wasn't even driving hard. The little ball at the bottom of the shifter completely broke off, leaving a round hole where the ball used to be. Anyone know if these come with a warranty? =======2000 Black SVT======= - B&M Shifter - Sound system is halfway done. - More later...
