Notification for Anyone WITH Short Shifter

Sorry to hear about that, what exactly broke on it? I just went to Advanced Auto and picked up some Permatex White Lithium Grease WL-9. Here's is what it looks like:

stop slamming your shifter. hahaha

Yeah, yeah 415... The part that broke is the area on the main pole that juts straight out to the left and has TWM cut into it. It was such a clean break that I am surprised and don't know what happened. I have slammed it a couple of times but not nearly enough for it to break like it did. Well, I am lucky I guess because now I get to do it in the snow and fuckin' cold.Yay! Thanks for the lube referal too.

i was just giving you a hard time. i know a few ppl with broken b&m short shifters. it happens occasionally.

Any photos of the part that broke? I am curious as to how it failed.

Thanks

I believe the part he is referring to is the tab that the linkage attaches to?

Yeah blam is right. If you have the TWM shifter, I am referring to the part that juts out to attach to the shifter linkage cable. It has a big twm logo in it for reference. It just broke right off the shift rod itself.

holy crap the rod seems like it's made of pretty solid metal.... if you managed to break that by slamming... i'd be worried about ur tranny lol.

No, No PB... Not the ROD but the piece that juts out from the rod that has TWM on it. If you look close at the shifter the piece I am mentioning is not a part of the rod but something that has a place cut out for it, and is then welded in. The welds are obviously not very good or weren't on the one I had at least.

yeah. what i'm getting from it is that it might have had a kind of defective weld job.
i've been beating the shit out of my TWM for 7000 miles, and its holding strong

Wow. That is crazy.

I popped the welds on my 2T engine hoist last year. So I know about a bad weld, but, JB Weld should hold up on an item like this. Push the clutch in before you start yanking on the stick.
