So my shifter knob came off in my hand today...

Anyone else have this problem? I went from 1st to 2nd at redline, pulled back and the ball came off in my hand. I found the problem to be that some value engineer somewhere thought it would be a good idea to save money by putting splines on the knob instead of threads. Brilliant!

Maybe drivetrain will be a better fit...

Anyone else have a broken shifter???
