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? How long have you had this on your tour before it broke? Born again on 04/09/06 FOR SALE: Moonroof glass and motor MB sunshade PM ME!

Get one that has a threaded shaft so you can bolt it in place. Someone else did this with a B&M that broke. If you're in Detroit, J&L Industries or Suburban Bolt might have the ball stud you need. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!

Thanks for the info Stazi...I will probably pick up a new one though...assuming OBX will not replace it...this time I will go with a sifter with a warranty....i.e. B&M =======2000 Black SVT======= - B&M Shifter - Sound system is halfway done. - More later...

That makes sense. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
