I was driving home going through the gears and then the shifter broke on me in 3rd gear. I wasn't driving hard at all. Thank gosh it wasn't on the freeway or else I would have been screwed. Come to find out that the ball joint where the cable connects to tore off the shifter itself and its thick metal too!! For those who want to get it beware, I've had this shifter for two years now and its been a dream until today. B&M is going to hear from me real soon.
