Sam_Patmore Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 So on the way home today, changing into 3rd only doing about 35, my shift snapped. To say i pooped myself is an understatement. I never actually installed this in the car and it was already in when i bought it. It looks like a japspeed one but i'm not sure. I presume I will have to buy a new short shift, or is this repairable? And has this happened to anyone before? <a href="http://s61.photobucket.com/user/patmoresam/media/DSC_0180_zps9zvoggf0.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h72/patmoresam/DSC_0180_zps9zvoggf0.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSC_0180_zps9zvoggf0.jpg"/></a> http://<a href="http://s61.photobucket.com/user/patmoresam/media/DSC_0181_zpsdxjl89zz.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h72/patmoresam/DSC_0181_zpsdxjl89zz.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSC_0181_zpsdxjl89zz.jpg"/></a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Could be that yours is a cheap eBay copy of the "Japspeed" (which is a cheap copy of the B&M version) one which is why it's snapped?! I've not heard of this happening before but I'm sure it's happened to someone before. I guess if you want to keep it like it was then your only option is to buy a new short shifter kit and fit that. Just don't get it off eBay. Torqen have a good selection of quality shifters here: https://www.torqen.uk/152-short-shifters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo 300 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I once had the gearstick in an old Fiat Uno snap on me. Late at night... on the moors... with a "lady friend" in the car... and looooong before the advent of mobile phones too... That fairly killed any passion that was building, let me tell ya!

Sam_Patmore Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 I had little Google about and ended up getting an oem one off ebay for £40. I'll look at replacing that after Xmas again maybe. I just couldn't believe it. For it to just sheer like that is mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Heard of this happening before with the cheap eBay tat. I never really understood people fitting short shifters to 350's because it's very short as it is, especially with a Nismo knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
