I get up this morning and look it over take out the shifter and look and find that i broke the ball off the shifter at the bottom. Just wondering with this being a B&M shifter i thought it would be a good quality but how many of you have broken a B&M and oh yeah what kind of welder do i need to fix this or can it be fixed that way??? 1998 CSVT #844 Born May 9,1997 Silver n Blue B&M Short throw shifter Eibach springs 4 Memphis PR 12" www.cardomain.com/ride/2273778

The only ones I've heard broken are knockoff eBay shifters and OBX I think.

Try bringing it up to a muffler shop or metal shop and see if they can fix it. I've never seen the B&M in person, but I can't imagine it'd be hard to fix.
