so my shifter bezel just fell off...2 of the three tabs broke off and are stuck in the actual shifter. any recommendations? besides taking it to the dealer, who will tell me it will be a week before they can get the part in....

 

wait...what???

 

I need one of those my self.... $48 to replace.... I said **** that and just shoved it in there and made it "fit"

 

the little silver bezel with the gear layout on top of the shifter...it has three tabs that keep it in place and two of the three broke off...

wait...its not covered under warrant? b/c if it isnt, i'll just go and get a hurst s/t

 

glue.

 

Dealership. It's free and that's what the warranty is for!

 

Then you potentially void your warranty should something happen..

They never told me it would be covered.

 

thats what i thought...too bad it will take them an hour to tell me that they need to special order the part and then it will be a week before they get it in. and then another hour to install the new piece....

soo glad gm rocks!

they would need to prove my s/t caused something else to fail...

 

It's covered under the bumper to bumper portion of the warranty...

 

Bastids... I'm gonna go back and tell em to replace it.

 

I had that same little "bezel" replaced under warranty, no problem. The second time my shifter broke, I replaced it with a Hurst. The shifters on these cars are notoriously shoddy. If you live next door to a dealer, by all means, warranty the hell out of it. But you're going to need to make two trips every time; one for the dealer to confirm that the part needs to be replaced and place the order for the part, and another trip to have the part installed. For me, it cost more to have two days wasted and burn all the gas to get to the dealer and back twice than to replace the shifter with one that wasn't going to break

 

super glue it, i did that and its been good for over a year now

 

I actually might do that instead. Saves gas going to the dealer...

 

Im about to go to my third one now. ****** broke again.

 

I needz to get me sum krazy

 

Lol, I'm in the same boat ! Mine broke last week on the 2nd and with the holiday I figured I would wait. All 3 of my tabs broke ! Good to hear it's not an isolated incident with mine.

 

are you talking about the shifter knob, or the base of the boot? how are you guys breaking these?

 

the very top of the shifter that has the shift pattern on it

 

the little black cap? damn. how do you break that? haha. heavy handed people i guess.

 

Bah! They are effin cheap. I put a hurst in mine and the tabs broke on my shifter cap with very little effort.

 

i'll just get a hurst...f**** it...i just need to save up

 

If were talking about the black cap, that's not what I'm talking about.... o.0

 

then what are you talking about?!?

that little chrome ring?

 

The plastic the shift boot is stapled to. The plastic that holds the boot in the console it self.

 

oh, ****, well, dealer? warranty FTW, only thing i can think of
